My deepest sympathy to Brians family. I was hired at CSX right about the same time as Brian and have had the pleasure of working side by side him through many projects. Always laughing, joking and having a good time while making the best out of being away from home every week. He was my friend, I will miss him. Rest easy Brian.

OMG! Our deepest sympathy and prayers for the McArdle family. As my foreman at CSX, he was one of the most helpful, patient, and understanding people I ever met. Even after I left CSX for medical reasons with my wife, he would call or stop by to see how my wife and I were holding up. He had a caring loving heart and will be greatly missed. May the peace of Jesus Christ comfort the family.
