Fond memories of our dear friend remain in our hearts.

Brian and I met through an introduction from Larry Hughes in South Bend, Indiana in 1976. The good times began there and continued in Boston, D.C. ,Virginia and Narragansett, R.I. Brian and Judy's gracious hospitality introduced my family to this wonderful vacation land where Brian lived in his early years. We walked the streets of 'Gansett as he reminisced about people and events that made lasting impressions. Now my family has many of the same fond memories. We will all stand and toast...

Dear Judy, Connor, and Megan My son Matt just shared the news, and words can´t express my thoughts in an appropriate way that are deserving of such a special man, husband, father and grandfather. His zest for family, his work, sports, and life was rare. Few people truly understand how to be a husband and dad, and he was among the best.

A life time of passion has left the memory of Brian on all who were fortunate to have crossed his path. Most important, his life built with Judy, Connor and Megan. In time, be healed by the many joy filled shared events and fill yourselves with love and laughter. He´d wish nothing more. He will be greatly missed.

A gifted, funny and, above all, very decent guy.

My heart was broken by this loss. I dreamed that we would have a chance to meet again, dreamed that I would introduce you to my parents. You were a person with big heart. I always smile when I remember your detailed instructions about everything for me: how to get the bus, how to find interesting places. I will always remember our celebration after governer's election and your excursion for me to Pentagon. It was always interesting to discuss different topics with you. And sure, you were the...

Where do I start?! It absolutely broke my heart when I was at my parent's house last weekend and saw a note they are still writing to Judy expressing their condolences. The words are just tough to come by. It warmed my heart to know that you were able to see your grandson. I am glad you are at peace and no longer suffering. I have many great memories of you talking about sports as we often do in this family. You were a good man, and made the most of your time here. You have sowed many seeds...
