I just heard that you passed away, I am two years late, but I feel sad that you have passed. I always will remember you being partners with Father Blenner on the bowling league with my parents. Father Blenner and you would always order fries and share them with me when I got to come to the bowling lanes. Thanks for being a good memory in my life.

It's good to remember Brian and some things he taught me – participation and doing your best are as at least as important as winning. We all appreciated Brian's participation and his best effort. I still try to follow those lessons with people I deal with. Thanks Brian.

I miss you more than words can say. There are so many plans that we had... so many things we were going to. I can't say these things are going to be left undone, but without your mark: a mark you had placed on everything you did in your life. This is very difficult to accept for me, but I must. You were always there for me and trusted me to do what I thought was right. You were always there to make sure I was safe and secure... even when you could only call or send a letter. My life was made 100% better with you in it and wherever you are right now, I hope you are sharing your positivity and light with everyone around you. Most of all, don't lose that smile. You truely were my FU (favorite uncle). I don't know if this is too much to ask, but even though I won't be able to see you, could you bless me with your presence for my wedding? I miss you.

I worked with Brian at Parker. He was such a joy to associate with. From time to time we would visit and afterwards I always felt happier and uplifted because Brian just made you feel that way. He was an inspiration, always friendly, funny, had a great smile, and full of enthusiasm. Brian was a skilled and hard worker. I will miss his friendship.

I am sad to hear of Brian's passing. He was a solid part of my childhood. I spent many summer days hanging out with the swim kids either at swimming practice or killing time waiting for the next one. That is what our days were back then. I can always remember Brian's laugh as he was either teasing one of his many siblings or baring the brunt of it. But always in good fun. Those were good times. Rest in peace Bri.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Swim family, although it has been many years since I have seen Brian when living next to him when my children, Nick, and Melinda were young Brian was the kindest person to them and loved them as if they were one of his nieces and nephews. It was a pleasure to have known Brian and have him in my life.
