Not sure what to say?

Just learned of Brian's passing. I send my condolences to Brian family. He coached me in football at Christopher Columbus HS in Boston in the late 1966-1970. He was a great coach, but also he really cared about the success and well being of young people. He went bat for me in my senior year, something I will never forget. He taught us about perseverance, determination, and toughness (those suicide drills). He was a truly great example to the team.

Just learned of cousin Brian´s passing, my condolences go out to the family & may Brian rest in peace with all the rest of our family & his friends.

Congressman Donnelly , Thank you for making the Irish youth of the 1980s lives so fruitful by sponsoring the " Donnelly Visa program " All of us owe you an enormous debt of gratitude. RIP

My deepest condolences to Ginny and the kids. My long time friendship with Brian goes back to the late sixties and I´ll always hold that friendship close in my heart.

Brian Donnelly was a kind, caring man. He was also a Congressman, who cared deeply for his constituents in Boston's Dorchester part of city (Dot.) Also was passionate about the Laws that were passed were to be fair to all Americans. He gave me my first job out of college. It was my pleasure to work for him, taught me much about how our laws are made and people in general. May he rest in peace, well deserved. Warm regards, Sharon Hullum-Reid Sharon Hullum-Reid in USA.
