Hope you can smile even though your tears, when you think about how lucky you were to have him for a husband, father, and son. May the wonderful memories of his love be with you and comfort you. We will miss his friendship, so many stories will live on. All our love.

My dearest cousin and brother. I loved you on this earth and I will love you in heaven. My heart is broken but I am comforted in the knowledge that you are no longer in pain. My heart goes out to Sherry, the girls and my Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Jack. I will pray for you always. I love you all.
Our hearts are broken upon hearing of Brian’s passing. We extend our deepest condolences to his family during this very difficult time. He’s now at peace in Heaven with Terri.
REST IN PEACE BRIAN!
Will always remember Brian for his Smile and Laughter. Knew he was looking forward to a Family Event this summer and am saddened for Family this wish of Brian’s did not come to fruition. Just learned of his passing yesterday as I moved away in the 80’s yet ran into Brian the odd time and conversed from afar. Played Baseball with him and watched with sheer joy as he played Hockey quite a talent and even a better person.
May you Rest in Peace Brian and condolences to Family.

It’s with a broken heart I write this. I spent my entire childhood going to school with Brian. Holy Rosary, St. Charles and A T Clancy. Brian was always a competive spirit. We actually had a school yard scuffle at St. Charles as kids. Played house league hockey together. And always joked with each other later in life. Called me Handsandwich, Handbag and I referred to him as Pecker. Redhead as a kid. Even though later in life we were kit close friends. Whenever we did cross paths. Always talked about our childhood days. Unfortunately I will be away at the time if his memorial. He will be missed. RIP Brian.
My condolence to the Family. I worked with Brian for four years. We became good friends.Brian was an honest & truely Great person.
My condolences to the family. My brother Mike new him better than I did but I’m glad I had a chance to meet him and know him, if only for a brief moment.
Please accept sincere condolences from the D’Addario family
Sherry, Jessica, Chris and Sarah. My heart goes out to all of you. He will always be with you. ❤️
