My sincerest condolences go out to Tammi and Brian's family. I first met Brian in kindergarten and knew him throughout the years. I was so saddened by the news of his passing. Unfortunately, I was away in N.C. during his services and wasn't able to pay my respects. He was a nice person and will be missed by many. May the peace of knowing that he is in a better place give you some comfort at this most difficult time. God bless!

Kevin and I recently heard of Brian's passing and we are so sorry to Tammi and the family for their loss. Brian was a kind, genuine person who had a magnetic quality about him. People were drawn to him and he was such an inspiration to so many. Even though he was only in our lives for a few years, we consider ourselves so fortunate to have known him. You will not be forgotten, Brian.

My sympathies to Tammi and to Brian's family. I play in the League with Brian and I would often see him at the Foxboro VFW. He was a good player and I was always happy to see him, even though he beat my teammates rather soundly on more than one occaision. I regret not having had the chance to play him myself, though I bet the outcome would have been the same for me as it was for them.
He will be missed.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Tammi and Brians Family and Friends. Brian played pool on our team and we will miss him greatly. He was a good pool player and a great teammate. It was always a pleasure shooting with him. A collection was taken and a donation of $535.00 was made to the National Spinal Cord Injury Association in Brians memory by his friends in the Foxboro Division of the American Poolplayers Association, of which Brian was a member. God bless.

Brian, I knew you for only a few years, but I respected your pool playing abilities. I knew that I couldn't beat you.... When I saw you in Vegas this summer, I was really glad that we were playing in different mini-boards. I remember when I used to take your parking spot at the Foxboro VFW, and would have to move my car. I'm really sorry that I never went onto your web site. Your life was way to short, but I know that we will meet again. You were a really great person, even if you didn't know...
