I think of my dear friend Brian quite often. The funny thing was we never actually met in person. We were work associates and I spoke with him so often that I felt we became friends and I truly loved him. After all these years it still brings tears to my eyes to think about him no longer being a phone call away he will always be in ny thoughts and prayers as well as his big beautiful family! I can't wait to see him in Heaven! God bless you all at this difficult time and know I am sending love and prayers from NH! ❤

The only picture I have of my buddy. He loved his grandbabies so much!!

Hard to believe it has been almost a year since we lost our dear Brian. I still miss him and tell stories about him to my friends. He was one in a million! And what a way to start my holiday season, a Christmas card from Maria & Tim, my FIRST Christmas card of the year. It was such an amazing surprise. Thank you Tim and Maria, my prayers are with you and all of the family to get through this one year anniversary of such a tragic loss. I know we will all be with him again one day and I personally can't wait to see his smiling face, I will miss him forever. My love to you all, you are one of the nicest families I have ever met and I am SO thankful I made the trip to get the chance to meet you all. Please give Brian my love if you go to see him at the cemetery.
THANK YOU!!!
Merry Christmas to you all!

My deepest sympathy to the O'Toole family, Ginger and friends. Brian was a wonderful friend and co-worker. He always knew how to make people laugh. He was great to work with. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

It's with a heavy heart that I write to express my condolences to Ginger, Brian's family, and friends. I was privileged to see Brian daily at work and will never forget the fun times we shared at the office, golfing, fishing, test driving cars, and skiing... Brian had a unique ability to connect with everyone he met. His positive spirit will be deeply missed, and his smile and good humor will never be forgotten.

I only met Brian a few times, but what I do know is what a wonderful person he is. He always had a smile and was so kind to all of us when meeting our family for Mike and Tara Keinath's wedding. I do believe that good people do leave there mark after they pass and Brian has definately done so. My heart goes out to all of you who feel his loss.

This is my 2nd entry, but I wanted to add a note after meeting Brian's wonderful family yesterday. I wanted to thank you all for making me feel so at home in a room full of strangers. After being with Brian's family for just a short time I felt so much warmth, love and kindness and felt so welcomed. I am so glad I was able to meet you all and to have just one touch of the dear man that touched my heart. I will pray for you all and hope that you all got through today okay. I will pray for Ginger also, be strong sweetie, he wouldn't want to see you hurting like you are. Just know he is in a better place and you will see him again. All my love to you all, you are a wonderful family. I don't think I told you yesterday, but I am 100% Irish and come from a big Irish Catholic family also. Just not quite as big as yours. God bless you all. My love and prayers...

To the entire O'Toole family. Please accept my condolences on the passing of such a great man. I would only see your father once a year at tax time and he spoke so highly of all of you, especially the grandchildren.

My deepest sympathies to Brians Mother, his chidren and his many brothers and sisters.
I've known Brian for close to 25 years and have always counted him as a close friend and someone you could depend on, which is a rare quality these days. One thing that you could always count on when getting together with Brian was you'd better be prepared to laugh, because the sarcasim would be flying. He could dish it out as well as take his fair share.
I'll miss the times on the golf course or out fishing but most of all I'll miss the chance just to pick up the phone and catch up on things.
We've lost a good man. Until we meet again.

My deepest sympathies to Ginger, Brian, Patrick, Tommy, Rosemary and all the wonderful brothers and sisters I've heard about so many times. And my prayers are with his little grandbabies too, I know he loved them so dearly. Your wonderful Brian was such a dear and wonderful man, he was the salt of the earth. I only had a phone relationship with him, but over the past couple of years have truly come to think of him as a great friend. I will miss him dearly, I just can't imagine life without him. My prayers and thoughts are with you all.
