Dear Kirsten , sons, and Rick,
I had the honor of knowing Brian through my sister Susie , who adored him! She always told me how he made them all great lunches , and how he would take care of anyone , even if they couldn´t afford it. That right there says what a great guy he was! And I just remember him being funny , and always a smile on his face! Rest in peace Brian! I´m sure glad I knew you!

Very sorry to hear the news. I´ve known Brian since Alma College. I admired his enthusiasm and love of life. A very talented person,but modest about his abilities. He loved his family and friends.

My deep condolences to Brian's family. Brian was a close friend of mine and a big part of my life for many years starting in junior high school. We swam competively together, first on YMCA swim teams, then on the Auburn High team, and played countless rounds of golf together, especially at Owasco CC and AGCC, where we teamed up often in local tournaments. Off the course too we had a lot of great times, he was so much fun to be with. We lost touch over the years but I am heartened (and not surprised) to see how much he was loved and what a positive impact he had on so many people. I will miss him and always remember him with a smile.

Brian, Steve, and Dennis Sedor often rode back and forth to Alma with me. The 4 of us were Zeta Sigma fraternity brothers at Alma and enjoyed multiple times together. When I relocated to Cayuga county one of my first moves was to have him as my dentist. I will fondly remember Bri´s smile and uncanny laugh. I will miss him dearly.

Magnets and perpetual motion machines, yup! We had some fun talking about that. Going to miss Brian for the rest of my life. Many heartfelt thanks to Kirsten and Danny for completing his life. "Life is Good" was the last words I heard him say. He lived it well.

To the entire Lesch Family,
So very sorry for your loss of Brian. The health journey that began in the late 1970´s has closed. I haven´t spoken to Bri since Steve´s passing . His commitment to his love of family seemed fierce and real . God Bless him and those of you mourning his loss.

"Vitae summa brevis spem nos vetat incohare longam"
"They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
we pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.

To the family of Brian: Brian was a high school classmate of mine and I was very saddened by the news of his passing. I will always remember Brian as a wonderful person that was an accomplished golfer and swimmer with a keen intellect and a friendly demeanor. My condolences to his wife, Kristen and their sons and grandchildren. It should warm your hearts and soften the sadness to know that Brian was so well known and loved by so many people.

Kirsten, I´m so sorry for your loss. Dr. Brian was such a kind man. He was always so understanding of my dental anxiety and he even saw me on a Sunday, opening the office just for me. What an amazing, kind man.

My heart is broken from the loss of this great man. I had the great fortune to be Brian´s assistant for several years. Each day was filled with laughter and fun. He made going to the dentist a positive experience. He was an amazing dentist who cared about treating and healing his patients, whether they could afford it or not. He never turned anyone away. The true meaning of a great doctor. His heart was huge and generosity endless. He loved and adored his family... his wife Kirsten, his sons, and grandchildren. My heart goes out to all of you. A man like Brian can never be replaced... definitely never forgotten. B R I A N... you will always hold a very special place in my heart. M A R Y.
