In the early 1970's Brian began working at Park Electric in Webster City, and later at Essinger Electric, until 1976 when he established Messerly Electric. In 2001, Brian retired due to ill health. In his younger years, he was very active in 4-H, he loved to fish, bowl, and visit Casinos. He especially loved spending time with his family and grandchildren, and having coffee with his buddies. Memorials may be left to the discretion of the family. Brian will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
