Many Prayers to all. Brian was always a happy person. As I sit here typing I can see us back in high school and especially when we had to stand in front of all our classmates and give our speech. This was very hard to do,because there were only a few girls and all the rest were guys! I can just see the face gestures that they and he would make as I gave my speech. You will deeply be missed my friend!

Thoughts and prayers to the family. Brian was a good friend in high school and somewhat the class clown. A lot of us enlisted our senior year. He will be missed. An all around good guy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I will be away over the weekend. I want you to know what a wonderful, funny son Brian was. He was one of my dearest friends in Graphic Arts at Vo-Tech. He was smart as a whip and kind and always a ton of fun to be with.
Much love and prayers to all,
Judy Bierly Polidor
