My daughter Francine & I met Brian summer of 2019. Brian was having car trouble in front of my home. We could see was in physical distress just recently had surgery on his back. Francine & I went out & helped, Brian left in his car profusely thanking us for our help. Fast forward to December 2019 I get a knock on my door and it’s Brian with a nice Christmas centerpiece. Thanking us once again! We only met him very briefly but he was a nice kind man sorry for your loss

Brian, too young to go. Some of you may not know, Brian was one of my star football players at Crosby Junior High School. He was Co-Captain and starting Fullback. He was a great pass blocker . He loved to hit Very hard.
He was soft spoken, however he walked soft and carried a big stick. My deepest condolences go to Mom and all his brothers and his sister.
Sincerely,
Pat Litano

I have lived right across the street from Brian for the past 7 or 8 years. From the very beginning when Brian welcomed me to the neighborhood, until the last time I saw him when he added some seeds to my new garden, he has been a great friend and an incredible neighbor. I have always felt welcome and safe here because of him. There will definitely be a hole in this neighborhood that will go alongside the hole in our hearts. To the family - I’m so sorry for your loss ♥

To the Goines Family I send my deepest condolences. Brian and I played on some Boys Club teams together with our dads coaching when we were little. Always a good dude and I got to share some stories about 10 years back at the Crossroads when I visited Pittsfield.
