Brian, It has been twenty some years since I have seen you. I will never forget the times we had together working with the band in your parents basement or the road trips we took. They were some of the best times of my life, may you rest in peace...

Thanks for the tireless beat and effortless smiles. Rock on!

My prayers are with you.

Peace

In memory of a cool person and a fantastic drummer. Peace, Brionne.

Brian - You rocked, man. Thanks for keeping the beat -- I will always remember your jams and your smile. Peace.

I cannot count the many times I danced to Brian's beat. I am deeply saddened by the early passing of one of the nicest people and most talented drummers I have ever known. God be with you brother.

To Judy, Paul, Roger, Page, David, LeeAnn, Justin and family. Please know that my heart and prayers are with you.

I knew Brian by visiting City Hall Mkt. at least 6 times per week. He always had a sporting event on the radio, and, would give the score as soon as I walked in. He always had the UNH hockey games on, and give me not only the score ...but, the goal scorers also. We had sports in common and nothing else that I knew of and yet, he felt like a friend to me and I will miss him for that. He seemed like a very nice person and always smiled. To his family....my sympathy....to Brian.....UNH 3 Colgate 1.
