May God comfort the Brill family in this difficult time and help you find peace in knowing what a fine man the Lord has called home.

I first met Mr. Ken nearly 30 years ago tending my dad's antique shop in Ellicott City. I'll never forget his passion and enthusiasm for collecting Civil War memorabilia, but, most of all I'll remember his kind soft voice and caring heart. He truly exemplified treating others the way he wanted to be treated.

God Bless You Mr. Ken!

My sincere deepest sympathies to the family and friends in the loss of Ken.

He truly was a great compassionate guy I got to know through our interests in Civil War memorabilia. For several decades it was pleasure to have known him!

You will be very missed by many, including myself.

What a wonder neighbor I had in Mr. Brill. Once it snowed and he actually took a broom to my drive way and cleared it for me. When ever I would see him outside it was always a jolly hello and a smile.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Brill, the patriarch of his family who was always there for his wife, and children, and grandchildren. My heart hurts for Miss Joan to have to carry on without her partner and best friend. This is a strong family and one that I know will stick together and be with each other throughout this difficult time. Use this time to put your faith in God, stay strong and trust in Him. Hold tight to the memories you have of Kenneth. Keeping you all close in my heart and in my prayers.

Best wishes to his family. Ken was a great neighbor with a good heart.

To say my grandfather was an amazing man would be an understatement. He was the glue that held his family together and I will always cherish the time we were able to spend together. In his last days I was able to visit with him and during that time I found peace and comfort knowing that he was ready to go. My grandfather left a legacy his family could be proud of, we can all only hope to do the same when we go. Even in his finally days he was still willing to give you the shirt off his back, literally, my daughter was cold and he tried to give her his shirt. I know that's I memory she will always hold with her as will I. The amount of knowledge he possessed was remarkable. We shared a love for history and he taught me more about it then any teacher I ever had. I will miss being able to call him on my way home from work everyday but I know he's in a better place now and no longer in pain. Until we meet again, I love you Pop, tell Abraham hello for me ❤
