Dear Bob, Denise and Tim, It has been both a painful yet extraordinary week. We will all miss Brian. His life was simply special. The bible says that a man shall be known by his works, and that is true to form in describing your Brian. Being touched by him will allow us to carry his spirit with us each day. Until we see him again in eternity.

One day Brain and I where laying back watching Saved by the Bell on TBS and eating Sour Patch Kids when suddenly Brian said hay mike you remind me of Screech. Ever since then all my good buds from Southern Call me by that name. When ever I was with Brian I felt as if we where going to be buddy’s for life. It is sad to see such a good persons life cut short. I will always Miss my BT!!!!

Mr. and Mrs. Tvardzik & Tim Dog-
What an amazing young man Brian was! I can remember all of the baseball games, watching Ryan and Tim play, cheering them on with Brian and our families. He loved the "Thank You Jesus" song and we would just laugh together everytime we heard it.
I will always keep Brian in my prayers and in my heart. He is going to be busy in heaven watching over so many people. He now will be everybody's ANGEL. Believe in your strong faith and look to your friends, family and each other to see you through this difficult time.
Brian, you will be missed and remembered forever.

Although, I never knew your son, we are nieghbors of the same town and I am sure I must have passed him in my travels around town. We are all connected in one way or another.
I have lost many young friends tragically and there never seems to be anything to say, except, I am truly sorry for your loss and will keep you and your family in my prayers...

Dear Denise and Family,
I just want to say how saddened we were to hear of the loss of your son Brian. Debbie and I extend our deepest sympathy to your family at this very sorrowful time. I did not know Brian, but I can only imagine that he was a fine young man and that you were extremely proud of him as your son. It doesn't seem like so long ago that we were sitting the baseball bleachers with you in Torrington watching Tim play Legion ball and you said that he had a younger brother who was quite a ball player.
Your family, friends, community and everlasting faith will help you. We will continue to keep you in our daily prayers.
Sincerely, Ken and Debbie Deschino

Mr. and Mrs. Tvardzik,
I am sending you my deepest sympathies for the loss of your son. Brian was a great friend, and a wonderful person. Although I only knew him for 4 months, he has given me a lifetime of memories that I won't ever be able to forget. Your family might have lost a son, a brother, nephew, cousin and friend, but they gained an angel.

BOB AND DENISE,
i AM TERRIBLY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. yOU WERE THERE FOR ME WHEN JONATHAN PASSED AND I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU IN YOUR TOUGH TIME AS WELL. ONE THING PEOPLE KEPT SAYING TO ME AT JONATHAN'S FUNERAL WAS THAT THE GOOD DIE YOUNG AND IT SOMEWHAT COMFORTED ME. I THOUGHT THIS MIGHT COMFORT YOU TOO:
When someone dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell god to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. people disappear, but but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up the grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the daytime when they're supposed to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind songs, they whisper to us, "Don't miss me too much. The view is nice, and i'm doing fine."
Michael Dalenta

Mr. and Mrs. Tvardzik,
I am truly saddened by the loss of your son and my friend Brian. Even though i only had four months to get to know him, he has given me a lifetime of memories. He will be missed by many but never forgotten.

We were so shocked and saddened over the news of Brian's tragedy. I would like you both to know although I only coached Brian for those 8 games in The Babe Ruth County East All Star Tournament (in East Hartford) this past July 2004.. He was the spark for our team from behind the plate.. He came up to me after the tournament was over and told me that he never had a women coach before and wanted me to know he enjoyed playing for me and couldn't remember when he had that much fun and won too....but HONESTLY the pleasure was all mine. My son Robert II and I want you to know our hearts go out to you all, and our thoughts and prayers are with you. What a tragic loss; of such a respectful and special young man.

Bob, Denise and Tim,
I only knew Brian for the past 4 years and what a great time we had in the Fantasy Football league. I enjoyed seeing the two of you stand and salute when you where picking a Giant player. Know that Brian has touched our lives in many ways. I hope that when my Sons get older that I have the same awesome relationship that Bob and Brian had. Bob you had a relationship that most Fathers crave for, you are an inspiration to us all. Know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Tim, Mr. and Mrs. Tvardzik,
Our close knit town is mourning greatly the loss of its wonderful brother Brian. I remember the days out back playing homerun derby into the pool with Tim as Brian ran after the ball. Then seeing him at a THS baseball game and barely recognizing him as the tall, strong, handsome young man he came to be. My heart goes out to you during this trying time as your hearts have carried all of us during ours. God bless your beautiful family and be proud of the wonderful man you produced and all the lives he touched.
With love and prayer,
Gavin

I wanted to express my deepest sympathies and to let you know how sorry I am that I am not able to make it up there to say goodbye to Brian. I wanted to share with you a poem that happens to be a favorite of mine.
TO AN ATHLETE DYING YOUNG
by A.E. Housman
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder high-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It whithers quicker than the rose.
Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:
Now you will not swell the rout
of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.
So set, before its echos fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.
And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.
Take care and stay strong.

My deepest sympathy to you both! I only knew your son through our fantasy football league. In those few years I saw Brian and his dad as we would meet over the course of the football season. My first thoughts of Brian, his huge smile, his love of sports, his relationship with his dad. Bob, I noticed that you were more than just his dad, you were his best friend. You guys seemed inseperable as you talked and discussed strategy as to who your next draft pick was going to be. I know it was just a football league but how many father/sons do you know that have a relationship to go out and enjoy each others company in a fantasy football league....and Yes we all knew he was a huge GIANT fan. We gave him some slack for that :) I didn't know Brian to the extent of his closest friends did or the closeness of parents and siblings. One thing I can say is that he was someone that made his parents very proud of his accomplishments and someone who had high goals and aspirations. As I see he was an outstanding baseball player. I am very blessed to know Brian for even just that short period of time!!
I will continue to keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!
With Deepest Sympathy,

Bobby and Denise - Words cannot express what feelings must be going through your minds right now, to have lost a son who was just starting his life, and had so much ahead of him as a young man.
My deepest sympathies to you both. I know how painful a loss such as this can be, since I lost my sister in the last couple of years, and can fully understand the impact it has on parents.
If there is anything I can do, or if you just need to talk with someone, I would be happy to help in any way.
You will never forget, but these wounds will heal with time. However, don't forget your most precious son Timothy, who will need your support in such a time as this.
Sincerely,
Karen Humpel Qamar
