My dear brother was known for his easy going spirit, quick wit and unique sense of humor that will be remembered by many. He had a quiet confidence that drew people in. He made you feel seen, heard and understood. He had a natural curiosity about the world, with a deep interest in history and politics that sparked many thoughtful conversations. He was tall and handsome, and he made people feel at ease ,and you were always happy when he entered the room. He was an incredibly creative and artistic soul expressing himself though music, and his steel work , that can be seen though out Buffalo NY and beyond reflecting his talents, creativity and skill. He would come up with visions, and find a way to make them real. That was his gift, taking something intangible and giving it form. He also loved to cook and grill, bringing people together over meals filled with funny stories and laughter. His love of travel gave lifetime memories and reflected his adventerous spirit and openess to new experiences. Those who knew him saw him not only hardworking but steady, thoughtful, prepared and full of life. Brian will be remembered for his vibrant personality and for the many lives he touched. He was a proud and loving father, always putting them first with his time and unwavering support. He was a protective brother that was always patient and caring. I will always cherish the memories of drinking with you, talking about everything and nothing. Not just for the drink, but for the connection, and making me feel like I mattered to you. He was upbeat, positive and always moving forward. Brian left a lasting impact on everyone fortuntate enough to know him. Rest easy Brian. I'll never forget your twinkling eyes! You were deeply loved. You will be forever missed and never forgotten. You were truly one of a kind. Until we meet again. Love, Jill

Working with Ed and Brian was a great time 93'-95'. Brian came to visit me in Germany and we went skiing in the alpes. I will always remember you...
