Dear Mara and family,
I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of Rian and send you my deepest condolences. I first met Rian as my contact at Lockformer, when BNP Media acquired Snips magazine in 1997 and I sold the advertising space. He was great to work with over all these years - professional and always so pleasant in his manner.
I know that the industry will miss him and you and your family will miss him terribly. I recall meeting you and your family at conventions, particularly in Maui.
Treasure your memories and we will always remember the wonderful man he was.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sally Fraser
Past Publisher, Snips magazine
