Read MoreMarilia - Over time and distance I lost touch with Brian. I just learned that he passed on. Somehow time and distance have been instantly removed. Your husband was a great guy. I worked with him and his brother Bill at Oxford Health Plans. I remember his kindness. He held himself out to all people as accessible. He was a good person and a good friend. He is missed.

I first met Brian when I was 6 years old in Mrs. Kern’s 1st grade class at Long Hill School in Trumbull, CT. Yes, he was Brian then…the nickname Slink wouldn’t be invented for several more years. Right from the first day I met him he was easily the most approachable person that I have ever met. He had a way about him that made strangers feel like they had known him for years and as a scared little kid on his first day in a new school I am sure it was this quality that attracted me to him...

Brian was a great guy. I was fortunate to meet him while we both worked at Oxford. We both enjoyed the Jets-Pats rivalry and both attended a preseason game in Foxboro together. He was thrilled when we saw Randy Moss catch his first TD pass of his career. On e story i always remember fondly that Brain told was about traveling to The Meadowlands with his brother Bill. They stopped at the Vince Lombardi Rest Area to use the bathroom on the way to the game. Bill, the germaphobe, didn't see...

Brian was a wonderful man. He will be missed by everyone who him. Brian touched the lives of everyone who knew him, and he left lasting impressions on everyones heart. We should all look up to Brian and how well he lived his life. I will always remember all of the good times we had, whether it be a picnics or family gatherings at stellas. He will never be forgotten.

Mindy-
What a great idea and way to have an ongoing tribute for Brian. I have know Brian
for 4 years when I moved next door to him and Marilia. As I moves stuff in Brian came over and introduced himself and immediately asked if I needed help. This was just the type of person Brian was. Always offering to help out.
A true family man, genuine caring person with s great sense of humor. I did look past him being a Jets fan because he was just as big a...

I think this memorial web site is an awesome tribute to Brian. My brother Jerry and Slink were the best of friends, in fact Brian served as Jerry's best man at his wedding and delivered one of the funniest and sincerest toasts that I have ever heard...also one of the longest as he enjoyed the stage that day!
I also played softball with him for several years and looked forward to sharing in his laid back, competitiveness every Sunday. There was certainly never a dull moment when he...

I knew Brian when he was a teenager and he was then, a wonderful, loving human being, Always a smile, kind word and caring thought came from Brian. His passing was untimely - he was a wonderful human being with much to offer. My love and thoughts go to his wife and children, his Mother and brother and sister and their families.

Marilia - my heart goes out to you during this very difficult time. Brian was an extremely genuine human being who touched the lives of so many. Most importantly, he was so very proud of you and the children. I don't think a day would go by at work that he did not have a story or two about the little ones. They were and will continue to be his pride and joy.
May you find comfort in family, friends and the fond memories you have. He will forever watch over you and the children as you...
