Brian, my angel brother, we came into each other's lives in a trechorous worldwind. We made it through life's hurdles supporting each other and I will be forever grateful for the gift of life you showed me. I miss our chats and your happy voice, with that accent, wishing we could chat right now! I hope you and my mom are dancing and enjoying some great laughs together.

Dear Brian,
You were the one who called me doll face and how we would laugh together on our trips to Asbury Park and our" rockin" New Years eves over the years. I love you my dear friend and the world is not as bright without your presence. I will miss your humor, kindness and courage - you inspire me to face change and embrace life. I am holding you in my heart and hope you have found a place of love and laughter. Love, Lorraine

Brian was such an incredible person...such wisdom, strength, courage. I will deeply miss him. He was SO helpful to both my husband in need of a liver transplant and myself. May God and all of angels fill Brian's beautiful soul with love and blessings for eternity.

Hi Brian, I remember the pain you came into our sessions with and how at the end you would humm a song (usually old disco ha) and we would laugh and laugh. I pray and imagine that those who welcomed you are surrounding you with that laughter, joy and song and your heart is filled. Thank you for sharing with me. Love you! XO Jim
