    Trying to understand why God took this sweet guy in the prime of life, but I’m sure it’s for a special reason. I got to know Brian through our mutual friend and Brian’s lifelong classmate, Celeste Grosinski. Brian lived upstairs in the same apartment complex as Celeste. I visit her often from outside of Pittsburgh and had many game nights with Brian making us laugh so much, we cried!! He was so funny, witty and the nicest guy!! My condolences to his mom, and family. God Bless Brian! I know you are smiling down on all of us!! My life is better having met you. 😃🤗

    Mrs. Eltora, Michael, Dee and Melisa, I’m so very sorry for your loss. I recall the first time I met Brian… Mike and I came out from the city to see his new condo and he was so excited that he bought his own place. He was always so welcoming and happy. I’m reminded of his dog Frankie, that great portrait of himself that was in his kitchen, and of course his laugh. Brian was a special guy and I’ll never forget him. The memories that I have of the time I was fortunate to spend with your family will always be special to me. Thank you for including me in your lives, and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Xo Eddie

    Dearest Aggie, Mike, Dede, Melisa and family: I just heard of Brian;s passing. There are no words to express my feelings. Brian was the greatest. He was so beyond, caring, a great sense of humor, and so beyond kind and compassionate. He took excellent care of his patients, always made sure we were well taken care of. When I needed Brian;s help at the MRI facility, we would always laugh about the fun times when he would visit his mom in the billing department. He would say that we were crazy and he enjoyed the good times. He was one of-a-kind. My deepest sympathies and condolences to your family, Aggie. I love you all so much. I will keep you all very close in my heart and soul. Don sends his deepest sympathies and condolences to you and your family as well.
