I have so many good memories of Brian and my heart goes out to him and his family for all their sadness. Brian was a great friend and neighbor...he'll always have a place in the Hill Lane legacy.

My condolences to you all - Jackie, Marian, John, Ricky and Patti and your families.

How I remember Brian in his collar and Yankee jacket!
Taking the altar boys (my son included) to the Islanders hockey game.
A great orator at Mass.
May his earthly torment be just a memory for his family & himself as he is received in Heaven.

Brian was the mentor for the altar boys as a priest in NY including my son. My son has nothing but praise for Brian.
Brian & Father Tom literally raised my former parish from the ashes!
I hope that Brian has found peace in Jesus Christ again after such a tormented life.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid." (John 14:27)

For all of the good that Brian shared with us, with the Church and with the world, may he now be at peace in the arms of our Risen Lord.

I was so shocked and sorry to hear that Brian died. He was a friend and good priest who brought so much energy, joy, and compassion into the world. I will always remeber his smile and his attempts to gather the brotherhood of priest together for comradery.

Please know that he is in my prayers as are all of you who have now suffered the death of a second son/brothter.

In the peace of the Risen Lord,

Larry Duncklee (Rev.)
