Missing SF man Brian Egg remembered by friends, family at candlelight vigil

Brian Egg was eccentric and kind, and the kind of generous spirit who gave cashmere coats and planted palm trees to his neighbors. Tuesday night, two dozen of those neighbors — plus family and friends, many of whom had known him for four decades — clustered in front of Egg’s South of Market home on what would have been his 66th birthday. His death has not been confirmed, but two weeks ago, a body, missing its head and hands, was found in Egg’s home.
