I remember Brian from our days at Pine Crest. We both lived in the dorms while we were there. I remember how hard he tried at everything he did. I was amazed at his accomplishments, but not surprised by them. I will keep your family in my prayers. He packed so much into his life of which his children can aspire.

My condolences to Brian's family. He was a good friend and fellow professional. We had many good times racing sailboats in the British
Virgin Islands. Brian crewed for me when we won our class and Best USA yacht in the 1989 BVI Interline Regatta. We also won for individual races that year. He will be dearly missed.

He was such a wonderful fellow in High School. None can predict tomorrow. The US has lost a good pilot.

To the McManus Family,
My deepest condolences for your loss. I remember sitting with him at St. John's Father/Daughter dances and chatting. He's was an amazing guy and he leaves two wonderful children who will undoubtedly leave their mark on the world as their father did. God Bless.

My Deepest Sympathies to all of Brian's Family and Friends. I am still shocked. He worked tirelessly for all of us who were priviledged to have known him as a co-worker and friend. He will be missed.

When I heard about Brian, it brought up so many memories from such a happy time in our young lives. I knew Brian from Notre Dame days. I will always remember dancing with him at Corby's to a very special song called "That's What I like About You" by the Romantics. Brian had an intensity that is not likely to be forgotten anytime soon. My thoughts and prayers are with Brian's family and friends.

Dear Curtis and McManus family:
I am devastated by Brain's passing as he was an inspiration to all who knew him. My memories of Brain and Curtis are fawned ones.
I pray that God will see you through your heart ache and lift your grievance according to His will.
With wonderful memories and great sadness, I give my condolences.

I knew Brian back in his high-school days at Pine Crest in Ft. Lauderdale and always knew him as rugged, physically active and he seemed like the kind of guy that would last forever. I am saddened to hear of his loss and off my condolences to the family.

To the McManus family: I join the multitude of people who will share your great loss. I knew Brian as a fellow Notre Dame grad when we flew together in Miami. We obviously shared a great deal from our ND connection and I'm sure Our Lady of the Lake is taking good care of him now. Please let that thought lighten your hearts for the future. God bless you.

MACManus,
Everything he did, he did so with tenacity and gusto. I loved watching him wrestle in high school, and I remember watching him pin this guy in 4 seconds. What a career, and inspiration to his family, fellow aviators, and friends. Our prayers are with his family and friends. Rest in peace.

B-Mac, you said it best in 1981 and I hope you are right: "Heaven is where you play rugby all day and drink beer all night". I hope you are playing now and having a beer later. Brian, I wish your family peace knowing that you led a full life each and every day. Our families' best wishes and condolences, Steve, Anne, Olivia and Matthew LeBeau

To my sister, Devin and Kerry,
I am so sorry for your loss but know that your family is here for you always. You have been in our prayers and thoughts during this very difficult time. Of my former brother-in-law I will say this, B-Mac was a professional at a job he enjoyed and also that his children was his whole world. May he rest in peace.

Best wishes to Brian's children and to his Mother.

Brian,
I really enjoyed knowing you while flying on the shuttle and the system. You were a good man.

Six years ago, my son Patrick asked me if he should apply to Notre Dame. I answered, "Everyone I ever knew that went to Notre Dame was a real fine person." I was think of Brian as I said it. Patrick ended up graduating from Notre Dame and had the pleasure of meeting Brian a couple years ago in the pilot lounge. They talked football like old friends. I will miss him.

I am very sorry to hear of Brian's death. I went to Pine Crest with him from 1971-75 and I remember him as a very good kid, nice to everyone. I was quite impressed with his adult accomplishments as well. My deepest condolences to his family.

Though I only knew Brian for a short time in high school, I always have remembered him as such a kind an sweet person. I had the pleasure of seeing him again in Pensacola and was so happy for his success at that point. I am not surprised he lead such a full life. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
