To the family of Brian. We used to play bridge at The Village every Tuesday night. Brian always joined and he enjoyed being part of out group. We would take turns having Brian sit at different tables with us. We always celebrated his birthday in February with a cake and a gift. Of course he would remind us of his birthday in advance but we never forgot. He was a special person and loved by the entire Tuesday night group. He will be missed. My name is Bunny Sherman and my husband and I led the group until last winter.

My Dad was a client at The Village. Brian was such a nice and friendly guy. I brought in some puzzles for him to do. He was so sweet.
I have one of his. Pictures

My condolences to the family of Mr. Ehlers. He was my father’s neighbor at the Village at South Farms, and when we would visit my father, Mr. Ehler’s would sometimes come to his door, smile and say, “hello.” He would on occasion share his artwork with us.
