Not sure what to say?

Mr Eterno was my grade school teacher when I went to Silver Star some 40 years ago, he was one of the people that I crossed paths with that made a real positive impact in my life, he will be missed.

I have a funny story about one time when it was stormy and Brian was putting in a vanity in my basement. The storm got so loud...and I said: " Well at least the lights haven't gone out" and bam...darkness! I could hear him in the dark say: " funny, Gail"! I still chuckle about that...still have a couple of his messages on my recorder...when I want to hear his voice .

Eterno family. I am very sorry for your loss of your beloved brother Brian. God bless you all. Debra Saniti-Wells

Brian taught my children at Sunset. I was on the PTO and spent many hours at the school planning and attending school functions. He was such a great teacher, and friend. A wonderful role model. He will be greatly missed by many.

I was so shocked to just learn of Brian's passing from my oldest son Jarrod. He was always a fun guy, one of my ex Tom closest friends. They spent lots of time golfing, playing weekly poker games, (cigars and pipes included)! And he was incredibly handsome (i sorta crushed on him). Gone way to soon. Condolences to the entire Eterno family

I had a great deal of respect and admiration for him as a student of his in the 6th grade at Silver Star. He always was kind and had a way of inspiring you. Brian took the time to listen to what you had to say. He helped myself and many others believe that you had what it takes to move mountains. Staying after school to play floor hockey at Silver Star with my friends was such a great privilege and I have to thank Mr. Eterno for being so generous with his time.
My condolences to...

Brian was such an influential teacher and mentor to me, and so many others at Silver Star. His patience and natural leadership was a huge impact. He really encouraged everyone to excel and be their best self, and for that I am truly grateful. My sincere condolences to family and friends. May all your putts be makeable, my friend.

Great Teacher. He taught my son at Sunset, and I was hopeful, but disappointed that he wasn't chosen as my daughter's teacher. He knew her, though, as Kevin's little sister. I am sure every student remembers the respect he had for each of them, and their daily walks.

Steve and I were so sad to hear of Brian's passing. I taught with him ay Sunset and remember how much he cared for his students. Such a good guy all around. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him.
