Brian was a gentle soul, with a wry sense of humor - my husband Stephen and I loved him.  We remember his excellent basketball playing - sometimes with Stephen..  And walks down Mass. Ave with Rosie, Molly, and Max (our much loved dogs)  We ate at Changsho, and Mixit.
We miss him - and were glad to be there with Carolyn at the end.

Remembering Brian is easy.  Though we didn't see him often because he and Carolyn lived so far away, I remember his easygoing ways and his being open to new things.  A memory we have is of my daughter, Reina, when she visited Carolyn and Brian for the weekend in Boston.  Brian had sat down at the piano with my 11-year-old and taught her Fur Elise, which she still plays today at 51.

They say first impressions are lasting. I think that is true - when I think of Brian I see the tall, lanky, free-spirited soul who was about to marry my cousin Carolyn. My favorite Brian memory - On one visit to New Jersey, Brian and Carolyn took my son Patrick and his cousin camping and Brian proceeded to tell them scary stories. I will miss Brian's warm smile and quiet humor.

One of my favorite memories of him was when he took my sister Carla and I camping.  We set up the tent and told stories around the campfire, which he was really good at!  He always took the time to talk and visit with us.  He even made a trip out to our property when we were building our home.  I'll never forget because he had to duck down to entered my kitchen : )  He will be missed.
