All of us at ABC who knew Brian miss his great humor and company. Those who never had the chance to meet him really missed out. He was a great person. Still think about him often

When I saw Brian's photo in the paper it took me a minute to recognize him, you see I never did see Brian in a suit. I remember Brian coated in fuel oil so thick all you could see was his beautiful smile and those pearly whites!! We worked together for a couple of years at Suburban Services Group in Burnt Hills. Brian always had a smile on his face, had a fantastic work ethic (accepted jobs far away at the end of the day when others simply would not) and always made our office a warm place to be when he was there. Rest in peace my friend - job well done!

Brian and I have worked together at ABC for many years, and he was one of my favorite people. He always made me laugh and was such a hard worker. I'll miss him terribly and the chats that we used to have. Much love and prayers to his family.

To the Dunn Family, So sorry to hear of
my friend Brian. We had so many memories together, from riding our motorcycles, taking Karate lessons together, to listening to KISS music as young kids. Growing up on 14th Street has so many memories. Rest in Peace my friend.

Brian I have so many good memories of our childhood playing football in the snow filled 14th street, snow ball fights until all hours, penny nickel dime card games, and of course always being in some sort of trouble . I'm so sorry to hear of your passing, but you lived life to the fullest, rest in peace my friend.
