Brian is my brother. I will miss him more than words can say. He was always in a great mood. We would get together for poker and have a great time. Brian and I were going bass fishing for a weekend in April. I still plan on going and will use that time alone to remember Brian for the Man, Brother he was. He was quick to give you a hug goodbye, say I love you Bro and give you a peck on the cheek. My tears are for the fact I will never experience that again. I love and miss you Bro. Tell Dad I said Hi.
Sharing your heartache, Kathi and family, at such a shock and sudden loss. Praying for your comfort and for Brian’s soul in Heaven.
May god bless you & your family at this time. Such a great loss to your family. ߙϰߙϰߙ

Brian was a very close friend of mine for 30+ years. I will always cherish the campfire chats we had when the others were tucked away in their tents or in their rooms at the Inn. For every future ember that lights the night sky, there will always be a positive memory of you. “Here is to good friends.” RIP my friend.

I was blessed to have met and shared my faith with Brian as part of a Christ Renews His Parish group at St. Barnabas in 1997-98. I distinctly remember Brian’s thoughtful reflections and how much he loved his family and friends. Brian, Kathi and the family are in our prayers, Bill Fanelli and Theresa Bossu
I shouldn’t be sharing a memory on your tribute wall, you should still be here! You will be missed every day by so many people. There is nothing but good things to say about you. You were a great brother to me. Sweet and loving. You cracked me up all the time. I am sad knowing we will never vacation together and I will never see you again so I will cherish every memory I have of you and what you brought to my life for the past 60 years. RIP Brian, I love you always ߒœ

Brian we first met in 5th grade at SPN, then became neighbors in 8th grade. Then became family when my brother Jim married your sister Teresa. We have shared so many wonderful times together, too many to list. But I’ll always cherish our time spent together last summer at the Pugh family camp. Spending a week together along with your entire family was a time to cherish. RIP Brian you are loved by many! I know your dad was there to meet you! ❤️ߘ°ߙ
