robin and family,
i am very sorry to have heard of brians unfortunate passing. i remember him as such a great man who was always willing to pick on me about fords, as i would of him and chevys. my best memory of him was when my family and i sent him a ford emblem as a joke to him in iraq , and he put it on the rear window of his truck, upside down with the cartoon character above him.....may everything go well for your family.

Dear Robin, Justin, and Dustin Now that everyone has gone home and things try to go forward I imagine this will be the toughest of times losing your best freind, Husband, Father and partner has got to be tough in any circumstance but when its someone as special as Brian well I can't imagine Cody always said if he ever got a Dad he wanted someone like Brian he touched him even though the time that they spent together was brief he really impacted Cody with his warmth, humor, and sense of duty Just wanted you guys to know again that if you need anything be sure to call, even if its only sugar cookies with butter cream frosting. We will have the canoe and kayck ready to go when you call and we will make sure that fun and laughter is envolved. because I know that Brian would have, no matter in what circumstance. Maybe we can make it an annual thing and do some more good in the north country in his name for one of his charities. Love Betsy and Cody. your in our thoughts everyday.

Robin and Family,
We are all going to miss Brian being around and making everyone laugh. He was a very good man and he lived his life to the fullest. Brian made the best of his life and what he had to go. He was a man that made everyone around him.. friends and family, very happy. I remember when I was young during the ice storm we all stayed at aunt luella's house and he he made us those apples sandwiches over the fire.. He will always be in our memories, and expetually in our prayers. My love goes out to you all.. Including you Brian!

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Brian, With whom I met by pure accident or total "small world"saying. I am originally from Keeseville, NY, moved to Bedford,PA,in the early 90's, was home in NY visiting family and was wearing a Bedford bisons shirt, Brian was in the store that I was in, saw my shirt and the conversation started, we talked about who his family was in PA, people we both knew, how I got to PA and how he got to NY. When they say small world they are right! He was a very nice person whom I have often seen when I'm home (NY), He use to comment on how weird it was that we seem to run into each other, In fact just before I moved from Bedford, PA a few years back low and behold I ran into him again this time in PA.He had told me about his health, I was so sad to hear him talk about it, Then too see that God has taken him out of pain. He will be sadly missed and a very fond memory of mine especially when I go home to NY. I know he really like the North Country. God Bless him and his wife and children.

Robin, Justin, Dustin, Aunt Lou, & Uncle Rodney,

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm thinking of you and I have been since I first heard the news. It's so hard to describe Brian and the life and energy that he brought into the room. Every time I saw him I felt like he was our own little version of Peter Pan because he was that grown man that was still a kid at heart. I thought he would be around forever and I think that when he left he took a piece of us all with him. Hopefully he's at peace now that he's found his Neverland and I look forward to reuniting with him again some day. I'm here if any of you need me and I love you all.

Dearest Dot, Dave, Brad, Jeff, Robyn, and family:

My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. May you find comfort in your memories of a wonderful son, husband, brother, and friend. I will find comfort in the memories of days gone by in the trailer park where we grew up - hide and seek, playing matchbox cars, sled riding, softball in the field, Shaffer's farm . . . . too many memories to mention. May God bless you and keep you close now and always.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Brian Rose. I did not have the privelige of knowing him on a personal level. My first encounter with Brian was during one of his hospital visits. I work at CVPH as a Patient Service Assistant (PSA, Nutrition Services). I got to learn a bit more about Brian this past summer during the American Cancer Society's annual relay for life. Brian was a guest speaker and told of his courageous and heartbreaking story to myself and all the other survivors and fighters present that evening. He was a true inspiration and I will never forget that experience. Brian, although I can never say that I have walked in your footsteps, I can say that it was truly a great honor and privelige to have walked with you during the relay for life this past June. You will live forever in our hearts. Lisa Garrow (PSA, CVPH)

The Rose Family,
I am truly sorry for your loss. You are such a giving family to your community and those around you. I realize that words seem so little at a time like this but may your memories bring you comfort in the days and weeks ahead. Brian showed such courage and determination in the face of adversity. He certainly was a shining example of what we should all strive to be.
