We met Brian when he moved into our neighborhood. He was a nice man who always smiled, waved & said hello to my Daughter & I. He had talked to me before getting his precious girl Molly & asked if I thought it was a good idea. She was a scared of her own shadow when he adopted her, but with time & patience she realized that Brian would never hurt her & “came out of her shell.” They loved spending time together & I know she misses him very much 💔😢 I was very sad when I found out he had passed Friday morning, but I know he is Home & at peace. We will sure miss him & Molly 💔😢 Our deepest condolences to his family & friends. Our prayers are yours 🙏🏻 See you again one day Brian, you were a great neighbor & friend.
I am so sorry for your loss. Reading about Molly touched my heart. I just lost my fur baby, Cash, a month ago and the house is too quiet. If the family would consider me, I would be interested in meeting Molly. Molly would have a quiet home and also home cooked, organic dog food, because that’s what Cash got. Cash was a German Shepherd, so I am used to bigger dogs and prefer them over small dogs.
My deepest condolences and sympathy.
Brian is the first cousin to pass, and that’s a very sad event to process. It’s very heartwarming to read such nice things about him.
Condolences to Brians siblings & friends.Prayers that Molly moves into a loving home. Fly high Brian 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Brian my friend you will be missed. You always had a warm smile and kind words for me over the years. Proud to have called you my friend.
Deepest condolences to your family.
I met Brian less than a year but I am blessed to call him my friend. He was a wonderful person he lived his life in service to our country and most recently helping other veterans. He invited me to join him on Tuesdays and always saved me a place I was honored to be part of his life. This was truely a good person and I will miss him. I will continue to pray for him and his family.
My condolences to his family. Brian was our neighbor, and he was always so friendly. He and Molly left Christmas cards, and that is a memory we will hold dear to us.
Brian was our first security officer hired at Falcon Investigative Services. He was an individual of great qualities – one that I learned from also. His unit number, 8510, has been permanently retired, He will be truly missed. Rest in peace my friend.
Our hearts are saddened to hear of your passing. We will always remember the military stories you told with such pride. Our children remember all the “awesome” models you made. Memories of Philadelphia make us smile. You were a devoted son-
something to be proud of. RIP Brian. Love, Uncle Gary and Liz
