Boog, I'll never forget growing up with you and your brothers. They were some of the best times of my life. Football at the Drumsky's, hockey at "the Spectrum", Flyers games at the KT. So much more and all great. I know you, your Dad and Chunks are together in a better place so we can at least take refuge in that. Give everyone our love, including Glory and my Mom and Dad.

Brian was my cousin. I hope he is at peace and we all pray for Aunt Charlotte as she works to overcome this loss.
