My great memory of your dad was him loading us into his convertible and driving down the country road in front of Aunt Madge’s. He had a great laugh and never minded taking your mom’s younger cousins out in the car for a ride.
My thoughts go out to you Abby and Shannon at this difficult times. May happy memories help you through this difficult time
Love Marylu

Diane and family.
We are so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. He was a kind and gentle man
We will never forget welcoming he was when we first moved into the Cove. He was an incredible card player and was fun to play with, whether he was your card partner or opponent!
It was easy to have a good laugh with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
