Hey, still remember and speak fondly of Brian even today. I remember each year as during Hurricane Sandy he helped me reserve a generator which my son and I drove from NJ to purchase. That generator is still unusually reliable to this day. Just like Brian always was. God Bless

A whole year has passed it is hard to believe and yet at times seems a lifetime. Brian will always be remembered and never forgotten for his gentle and peaceful soul.. In his journey here on earth he touched everyone who had gotten to know him in many different ways, probably never realizing the light that he passed on to others. The legacy he leaves behind will be remembered by many for many years to come. You just can not forget a person like Brian. Every so often he will pass through my thoughts and I always think what a gentle loving person he was.

To Tammy, Jack and Molly, and to Mrs. Langan and all the family...I am trying to come to some level of understanding that we have lost Brian, and now I have discovered you have lost Jack as well. All I can do here is share my love and prayers. I will pull together my wonderful memories for a time we feel more able to share, and perhaps to smile again about these great guys. The Langans have always been, and will always be, the most amazing and inspiring family - you all are an integral part of my youth and forever cherished for that joy.

Such a sudden lose is so shocking and difficult for all, undoubtedly. We all must remember that he is not really gone. The psychical part that we çould touch IS gone, but the part of him that was his life force goes on just like Jesus!
We all will most assuredly will miss seeing and being with him but we all will be with him when we cross over.
