Mar, we grieve the loss of BD.  He was a good friend, wise counselor, confidant and sharp dresser.  No matter how rough a situation became, you can always count on BD's support and necessary correction.  Brian touched so many lives (as Ed K. listed) and we are all the better because of him.  We will miss him so much. Our deepest condolences and love to you and your family for your loss.  He was extraordinary, and still lives within us.

Mary Ann,

Brian was a very dear and loyal friend for over 40 years, and he will be greatly missed by both Toni and me.  We have fond memories of the many happy times the four of us spent together which is bringing us a measure of comfort during this sad time. 
     
And while words seem so inadequate at a time like this, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. 

With deepest sympathy, 

Vince & Toni

Brian was taken too early from his family and friends. He was truely a unique individual who loved his family and was dedicated to his career. I had the privlege of knowing Brian for close to 40 years. He always supported me and I will forever be grateful. I considered him a colleague and friend. 

I was happy to speak to him a few weeks before he was taken from us. He was in good spirits and all he was concerned about was that his wife was taken care of. 

Brian,you will be missed. Hope to see you in heaven one day. 

My thoughts and prayers are for Mary Ann and all of Brian's family.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep. 
I am the thousand winds that blow. 
I am the diamond glint in the snow. 
I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. 
I am the autumn's gentle rain. 
When you awaken in the morning hush, 
I am the swift uplifting rush. 
Of quiet birds in circled flight. 
I am the soft stars that shine at night. 
Do not stand at my grave and cry; 
I am not there:
I did not die

Brian, was a true legend. I will miss his humor, wit and candor. A truly wonderful individual who did care about others. The laughs we had are fond memories... Mary Ann, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brian was the best brother that a girl could ever ask for in a lifetime!  He is, and always will be my hero and best friend!  Farewell my sweet guy!   Love you always, Fran

Always a very good friend. Mary Ann remember the good times.

BD, you are gone; but never forgotten!  Whenever I look at my 3 wood, I'll laugh and think of you. Tail gating at ND will never be the same. Keep it in the short grass, Brian; and God Bless.

What a huge loss for us  property 'guys'!   It's seem like life sure changed for us when we left RSA and especially for Brian.  I remember that was when Brian's real challenges began.

I am so sorry for your loss.   I will always remember his huge smile and contagioust laugh but most importantly, his unending support!  RIP Brian

Our sympathy & condolences to MaryAnn & Family....May Brian have Eternal Rest with our Dear Lord.    Jim & Diane Muss

I immediately liked him when we first met and he will be missed.  He was a smart hard working great story teller, who loved music, didn't mix his words and conveyed a sense of the young man still inside him.  RIP boss.  Scott Grieb

It was always a joy to see Brian.  With his great outlook on life, he was a wonderful colleague and mentor.  I miss him very much.

Mar & family,

All our love,
Joe & Michelle Rice-Crisp

Brian was a great guy to do business with, very sharp, and a great nguy to know. A real one of a kind and we will all miss him. 

Kevin Carr

I will most definitely miss his humor, caring, and his overall way about him.  He was truly one of a kind. The angels most be very happy that he joined them in heaven.  He is probably having a party with them just about now.  My most sincere condolences to his very loving wife which Brian always spoke about so tenderly.  My heart and my prayers go out to her as well as his family,
