Thinking of Brian brings back visions of teddy bears and glazed carrots, tonka trucks and Friendly's ice cream, listening to music and watching football games. He was a terrific uncle to the kids, especially the boys who loved to hang out with "Uncle Bri". He was a good brother-in-law and I will remember all the good times the family had together with a lot of love.
