It is with deep sorrow that we share our beloved colleague Brian Schroeder has passed. Brian was a wonderful co-worker and dear friend to many at Pope during his 18 years with us. Brian fought a good fight for the last 13 months as he battled Leukemia. We want to pay tribute to Brian as we regard him for his determination, dedication, and of course, his humor. For those outside of Pope who had the pleasure of working with Brian, you know what a tremendous loss this is.

Brian will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.
