Brian and I had many fun and wonderful time as teens in Binghamton. Our back yards touched...and I spent lots of time with Brian...and around the Conlon clan.
Brian was a great guy and wonderful friend!
I can't think of him without smiling.

We lost touch over the years...and it's so heartwarming for me to learn how filled his life was with love, family and friends.
He will always be with you in your hearts and minds...living on in your memories of times shared with him.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
