Not sure what to say?

We had some good times together at Search International and then some...you will be missed...God bless ❤

All of us here at Rochester Volkswagen are so sad to hear of Brian's passing. He was a great customer & friend, who spent many years coming to us. It was always so great to see Brian, he will be missed greatly. We send our deepest condolences to Brian's family.

Brian was a very good man and friend. I will remember all of the time we spent together. All of our conversations were filled with great stories of the things he had done in his life. I'm truly grateful I was part of his life and will miss him alot. I want to send my most sincere condolences to his children and entire family and friends. God bless you Brian you will be greatly missed.

I have never met Brian, although we have spoken on the phone and emailed quite a few times. I can hear his distinctive soft voice now. I found him professional in the search firm business and a straight shooter. He has placed a number of people in his career and his family must be proud of his accomplishments!
May God Bless Brian and his family.

He will be truly missed, Brian and my father spoke regularly as they had been friends from back in the Atlantic City casino days. As my parents are not computer literate, please accept my condolences on their behalf.
