So sorry for the loss. Brian is someone I will never forget. He was wild & crazy but in all the best ways. Not to mention he had a heart of gold & would do almost anything for those he cared about. He’ll definitely be missed & never forgotten.

I knew Brian from the Delaware Autism Program. He had duties at the residential unit where I worked and in the main building at Brennen School. He always was responsive whenever we needed materials and we knew he was the go-to guy and that we didn’t have to worry after contacting him for the job would get done. Gee, wish the rest of the world worked that way! His humor and wit were also appreciated especially in a profession like ours. RIP Brian, you will be missed.
