We are praying for all of Brian's family that God provides the help and comfort needed in this time of sudden loss.
Brian had a special place here in Amsterdam. His generosity was evident in the many kind things he did as a normal part of his life. From helping us older folks move heavy items, to tending his disabled neighbor's garden while he worked on his own, to many, many "Mr. Fixit" projects wherever he saw a need, Brian made himself a welcome member of the community.
Please know that we share in your loss and miss him sorely.
In His love,
Pam Carter

Ruth,Gary and Ashley Rose,
My deepest sympathy for Brian's Loss. I felt as if I had watched him grow up over the years at work.
Of the many co-workers children, his face was one most familiar to me and I took pleasure in seeing how he had grown and changed through the years. I always enjoyed hearing about your visits to Amsterdam and hikes.
I can only begin to understand how much he meant to you; but know that he will always be in your heart. May you always find strength in the spirit of who he was and how he lived his life and influenced you and your family's lives. My heart goes out to you and yours.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart is with you, Ruth, And he will ALWAYS be in yours. Brian's life, though cut short, was made better because you were his mom. You gave him your very best. May God be with you and your family during this difficult time and in the days ahead.

So sad to hear of Brian passing. It was a pleasure to know him and have him a part of the Scout troop. He used to like it when I called him brain instead of Brian.
