Jo-anne and family, so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. You may remember I worked at Fairport as a dispatcher and I must tell you that talking with Brian was always a pleasure. He was a great tech and was one of the few who went out of his way to help me in my new job. As time went on, we would chit chat about the latest, but he was always excited to talk about you and the family and he seemed to love his home. It was great that we were all able to meet in person. Our get together in Wells was a blast. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless

My thoughts and prayer go out to all of you at this most difficult time. When Brian worked at the Elementary my son was doing the morning announcements and they were having cheese squares and my son said squeeze chair by mistake and Brian was in the office, and he looked at my son an grabbed a chair and squeezed it.Needless to say he got through the announcements with a lot of laughter after. Your memories will help you through the rough times. Hold on to them forever.
