To Brians family, As time slips by slowly, from summer to the fall. May you all find some comfort, knowing that Brian is with Paul. You will know that they are near you, when you gaze upon the ground, One of the signs that they send you, are pennies all around! If you look, they will be found in the strangest places. And to know that they are sending them will bring smiles to your faces. Love, prayers and my deepest sympathy to all of you.

Margie & Family,
I'm so sorry about the loss of Brian.
He definitely made a difference in the
world. Lives were touched, days were made brighter and many friendships were shared. He will be deeply missed and never forgotten.
I share your sorrow.

To the Bertocki Family, I offer my deepest sympathy at the loss of Brian. Seems like only yesterday we were still kids growing up in the lake sites getting into trouble.May the wind always be in his face and the sun always on his back.

To Margie and the entire Bertocki family ~ On behalf of Lew, Michael and myself I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to you all! What an amazing family you are and we thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with us! We loved Brian deeply and thought of him as an extended part of our family. We shared so many memorable moments together with Bri and we are truly blessed and much better people to have had him in our lives! Words can't begin to express our love for him and our thoughts and prayers go out to you in your time of mourning! He was selfless and caring to everyone, sometimes to a fault. He had a way of making everyone he encountered feel special when in reality it was Bri who was special! We will forever miss the way his smile could light up an entire room, how he could always cheer me up when I was sad, how he could get me to talk so raunchy at work that June would yell & punish us by making us go behind the curtain, his incredibly unique & off the wall sense of humor that sometimes bordered on disturbing, how quick witted he was, ( and even though I never got the last word or last laugh in our verbal war of words or even won a single battle , Bri, you have to admit I was getting better at it and the infamous Rose City Christmas party speech and Andre, no it doesn't make you a bad person) and his infectious laugh. But most of all we will miss his compassion and the LOVE ~ yes Jimmy, I said love ~ he had for his family and friends as well as his love of life. It was usually expressed in actions more than words but it was most definately there for all who knew him well to see. RIP Bri, our dear friend, 'til we meet again in heaven! Ernie & Harley will miss their "Uncle Brian" too and send you lots of wet kisses. We love you Bri and you will always have a special place in our hearts. We would be grateful Margie, if you & the family stay in touch with us! We love you all! The Voyers ~ Nancy, Lew & Michael

Brian, I've known you since you were 11 years old and you peeked at me swimming in the pool next to where you detailed cars for CL. You grew up to be a fun loving and caring person, always there for your friends. I will always remember your laugh and your smile. You will be missed.

To Brian's family, There are no words to express our sorrow. We have known Brian for years through Rose City Trader. He was always so friendly and easy going, so caring and always with a smile on his face. If you were his friend, you had a friend for life. To Margie and Aunt June, our hearts are broken for you. Just know that Brian was who he was, largely because of the life you gave him. He cared so deeply for his family and friends. We will miss him, but we are thankful that he touched our lives.
