I just learned of Brian's passing. Please accept my belated condolences. I know this must be a huge loss for your family. I knew Brian from university. We shared serval classes in Italian language, and history over the two years prior to graduation, and he was just an amazing friend. Cheerful, lively, and possessing a seriously sly wit, he was always a pleasure to see on campus and in class. We ran into each other several years later when Brian was living in New York City, and I was living in Philadelphia. We met for dinner when he was home visiting his family. What fun those dinners were, re-visiting our younger days. Once Brian re-located to Georgia, we lost touch, and I was so, very saddened to find his obituary today. I am so very sorry that Brian did not have more time here on this earth, for he surely made it a lovelier place.

Brian was a wonderful and caring individual.  His Dad and I will always have great memories  of whom Brian was.  He was a good son, great brother and fantastic uncle.  He left us too early but he is in a better place.  We will hold him in our memory and it has left a hole in our hearts.  May he Rest In Peace  and  God will hold him him in his arms.

Dear Cottone family, I’m so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I worked with Brian as my direct boss for almost a decade.  He taught me so much about the right way to do business. I have so many fond memories of those days, including softball games, putting golf balls around the office at 6pm when everyone else was gone, and a few times when Kevin and Greg came for visits to NYC. Brian always looked forward to his brothers visits.  One of my favorite memories of those days was one evening when Brian got into a heated political discussion with Keifer Sutherland during a random NYC encounter. It ended when Brian got mad that Keifer said he didn’t vote, but Keifer replied that’s he can’t because he’s Canadian. We all had a good laugh and it ended well. That was Brian, not afraid to speak up for what he believed in but also willing to laugh it off in the end. Rest In Peace, BC. 

BRIAN ALWAYS BROUGHT  LIGHT TO EVERY SITUATION WHETHER IT WERE PAINTING, SHARING TIME WITH A COLD BEVERAGE OR BEING IN THE MEMBER-GUEST PLAYOFFS--WIYH BRIAN AND HIS BROTHER WINNING THE WHOLE THING WITH THE RALLY CAP IN FULL FORCE.  HE WAS A JOY TO BEHOLD AND WILL BE MISSED

I don’t have just 1 favorite memory of Brian I have a whole photo album that just blends together in a beautiful montage of a beautiful soul. Brian was always thoughtful and generous, always helped me out when I needed it and played the part of an older brother to me, a good buddy to talk to when I needed a laugh or advice. He called me “Jilly Jill” and I still can’t hear that name in my mind without hearing Brian’s voice.  He will be deeply missed and I pray he’s resting peacefully and know ls how much he was loved and appreciated 💔❤️

Chuck, Kathy, Kevin and Greg,
I just heard of Brian's passing and am so sorry for your loss. No matter how infrequently we were able to spend time with you and Brian, each time was always a great time. Sylvana, Sam, Ben and myself will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Chris

My condolences to the Cuttone family.  Brian was a co-worker and truly a nice guy. He wore his heart on his sleeve. Always greeted everyone with a smile. I will remember him as the jolly person I worked with.  Rest In Peace Brian. 

Dear Kathy and Chuck,
We were so sorry to hear of Brian's death. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Every memory of BC brings me joy and laughter, and I will forever treasure the blessing of having him in my life. I don't cook scrapple for just anyone, only the most special people. You are dearly missed, sweet friend. xoxo

It’s been a great yet rough journey, as is life. Your memory will forever be a blessing.
