I remember the pizza parties, the "Grand Opening" joke he just had to say every time he saw me and the way I could never type the word Brian without it first appearing as "Brain" - I tried to tell him it was a compliment but he never bought it. (Especially the time about 500 letters had already been distributed with "Brain" on them before we noticed.) Seriously, it was a compliment! Love ya Brian.........and peace for your family.

My heart goes out to the family in this time of grief. Though we moved long ago, some of my favorite memories are of Brian's pizza parties, his model trains, and other neighborhood gatherings with the Petroziello family and neighbors.

I can hear his voice in my head, and see his smile as he issues yet another of his multi-layered puns. He was a good friend, taken from us far too soon.

With a heavy heart, I say Farewell to my friend Brian, I have known so many years, with Division 3 of the NMRA and the Pine Creek RR - it's original Eaton Yard Master - his scouts, and as my attorney. He never gave up the throttle..... You will always be missed.
