My deepest sympathy to Brian's family. I met Brian a couple years before the pandemic. He worked hard, loved his family and friends, and had a wonderful sense of humor. May God bless Brian's loved ones with peace and comfort. Rest in Peace, Brian. Karen

To all of Brian's family,
We are so sorry to read of Brian's passing. Brian was a wonderful person with whom I enjoyed many conversations at Shore Acres. Always positive and smiling. He will be remembered with great fondness. May God give you His love and embrace you with His comfort and all the wonderful memories of a life well-lived.
