I worked at O'Brien Steel with Brian. I didn't know him very long, but always respected him and how well he did his very difficult and stressful job. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in peace Brian.

Brian was one of my closest childhood friends - we were constant opponents in all of our neighborhood games and teammates on all of our school teams. We shared just about everything, even birthdays. We went down separate paths after High School but Brian will always be central to many of my fondest childhood memories. My sincere condolences to Kevin ( hard to call you that), Mike and Jana and to his sons - I'm sorry we've not met but I knew your father well. He was a good friend, a fine athlete and true teammate......I think about him often. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Brian for a short time at O'Brien Steel and he could be a hot-head but also a very caring individual. He taught me everything he knew, enough to carry on his temper! I just wanted his sons to know that your Dad loved you very much because you were all he talked about, especially all the sports you used to play and how great you both were! I'm glad he is pain-free now and watching over you both.
