It was always a joy to run in to Brian at our local gym. He was a happy and great gentleman and had some interesting stories of Ireland from back in the day. His smile and grand presence will surely be missed. Rest In Peace. Prayers to his family.

What a gentleman! Oh how we loved to see Brian and Mary, with their kind way about them and their love for each other it truly was a gift to watch. (plus to listen to their accent was not bad either) Mary and Damien may all your beautiful memories bring you some comfort until you meet again.......
