Dear Helen and family,
I am so so sorry for your loss. I have so many wonderful memories of Mr Rafferty. You were my second parents. He always seemed to be thinking of a joke. You could see it in his eyes :) I can't put into words how sorry I am. Love to all, Theresa Stasny

Brian was a dear, sweet, witty gentleman. I was proud to share our granddaughters with him. He will be sorely missed.
