Brian Menger Obituary
Brian attended George J Penney High School in East Hartford, CT, before proudly serving his country in the U.S. Army. From 9/12/1966 through 7/7/1968. As a decorated Vietnam Veteran, he dedicated two years of service, contributing to his nation with honor and courage. Following his military service, Brian established a successful career as a plumber, a vocation he pursued diligently until his retirement.
Known for his humor and gentle demeanor, Brian was a well-liked individual who cherished the simple pleasures in life, such as playing golf and immersing himself in reading action series during his younger years. His presence brought laughter and warmth to those around him.
He leaves behind a loving family: his daughter, Erica Edwards of Asheville, NC; his son, Jason Menger; his older brother, Robert Menger of Newton, NC; and two sisters, Therese Huff of Scarborough, ME, and Dolores McCrea of Catawba, NC. Brian was preceded in death by his lifelong partner, Maria Greening, father, Robert Menger, mother, Isabel Menger, his older brother, Gary Menger and daughter, Stacy Menger.
Brian's life was marked by his devotion to his family, his service to his country, and his passion for his trade. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Therese, Dolores and Bob, there are no words for my sadness on the loss of Brian. He was an important part of my life. He had an infectious laugh, laughing so hard he would cry. He was also a great storyteller and he was a great dancer. I will never forget the times we all had at Montit's. Who could forget? . I think I spent more time at your house than mine. I could go on and on and on. Just remember that memories are forever, so keep them close to your heart. RIP Brian
Love you all, Alyce
