Dear Grace, Brian, Laura, Emily, & Casey, may all of the great memories you have help you through this difficult time. I remember the first time I ever met your dad, Bri. It was at Beecher Road School for a little league baseball practice and given our UTC affiliations, we had an immediate bond. Over the years, I remember seeing him looking on from a distance, and for some reason, I always looked over to where he was standing to see his reaction to what was happening in the game. He loved watching Case play and was always hopeful that he would make an impact at Amity. I'm sure he's proud of what Casey has accomplished to date and what he will do in the future on the field! I know you'll all miss him dearly. My sincerest condolences to the whole family.

So sorry about Brian. Remembering the years we were neighbors and friends on on Elm St. Our sons playing waffle ball on Brian’s neatly trimmed lawn. He didn’t seem to mind!! My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brian, one of my favorite memories of you is seeing you behind the wheel of your 57 Chevy Impala. It was black and had such a shine with all the washing and waxing on your part. You had dice hanging from the rearview mirror. So cool at the time. You were one of my favorite cousins and will be missed. Rest in peace. My deepest sympathy to Grace and your children and grandchildren.
