Everyone here in Buffalo stills grieves the passing of our great friend BD. We still talk about the great guy that he is. We all miss him, and feel for his family. We know that what we are feeling couldnt compare to what his family is going through. Our hearts go out for you guys. Be strong. And never stop talking about him, even in 20 years, that will keep his spirit alive!

To all who miss Brian-

I read this quote once and it always comes to mind at times like this..."In transitioning to a new life without someone you love, we hope that you will find strength and new vision born from the very pain and loneliness which seem at first, impossible to master."

You're always in our hearts.

As Valentine's Day passed marked the one year point of Brian's accident. In some ways it seems like eternity, in others it seems like yesterday. So much is still raw, still unbelievable. Brian, my love, I miss you so much. Your unconditional love, understanding, patience was amazing. I wish I could tell you one last time how much I appreciated you. Love always in my heart, rel

I have known Brian through the South Buffalo connection for about 15 years. I just saw him 2 weeks ago at Mercy Hospital when he was tending to his mom because my mom was also there. It was great to see him and such a shock to hear what happened. Brian was great. I know how much he loved his girlfriend because he always talked about it and his girls were his "babies." I am so sorry for the family. Brian, rest in peace.
