My condolences to Mrs. McCabe, Kathy, Billy and all the family. I just learned of Brian's passing and loss for words. Brian worked for me years ago, yet I considered him a close friend. I can tell alot of stories, as many can, that will make everyone smile and chuckle and that was Brian. Theres a party going on wherever Brian was. Rest easy friend.

I had heard so many great tales of Brian long before I met him. I was very happy to finally meet Brian few years back & so glad I did. What struck me most is Nrian was a gentleman. He was honest. And I could easily understand why the man who introduced us why he talked so highly of Brian. Our visits far & few .. but I loved sitting at his mother's kitchen table talking about south Boston. I am blessed to have met Brian. My sincerest sympathy to Mrs. McCabe, Joyce, Nicholas & family.
