  6. This is the Brian I knew. Always working out, shorts and sneakers. It didn’t matter the weather outside. He was a great guy and loved his pineapple and cottage cheese. I’ll miss you bud and the long conspiracy conversations we had. Keep it between the lines up there and remember, the clouds aren’t bouncy! Love you man!

  7. To my uncle Brian, wherever you are now. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there today to say goodbye. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there before you passed to say goodbye. I wish that I had. You were always so good to me. Kind and gentle, funny and lighthearted. You were my favorite uncle growing up, always laughing and full of hugs and affection. The last time we saw each other, I was so ashamed of how my life was going and where I was. When you came to see me, I was close to my lowest point and still as always, you had a smile and a hug and reminded me you loved me. It meant so much to me your kindness and I never ever forgot it. I don’t do funerals well. I don’t do goodbyes well. I never have. And I don’t think you did either so maybe it was best not to. I wish I’d known you better. Been closer to you. I know your granddaughter, who you loved more than anything, will miss you more than words could ever say. YOU were her true father and she will always know it in her heart how much she was loved by you. I’m sorry uncle Brian. I should’ve been there but.. you would’ve understood maybe why I just couldn’t.. but know I loved you. Always. And I’ll always miss that enormous smile. And infectious laugh. Goodbye..

  8. Well, I just found out that you departed this world this past February. I recently finished Ernest Clines book Ready Player One and it popped into my head that you were a gamer and also loved to read Tolkien and other fantasy and I randomly thought to look you up on FB and ask if you’d read any Robin Hobbs, an author my son introduced me to along with some others I’ve been enjoying. Alas, I saw Mary’s post about your passing and I was surprised but not saddened; I know you’d always embraced life and chased the fun in all you did and found the best of every situation. So, a life well lived, Brian. I’m glad to have been a part of it for a short while.
    Your (very) old friend, Beckey
