Brian became a dear friend to me during the time I worked at Soundings publications. We didn't become friends right at the start, but it began to be kindled during a Yankee Swap Christmas 2008 when I gladly gave him a set of Red Sox shot glasses to him in exchange for a tea set. I can safely say Brian is the sole reason I listen to and appreciate "The Boss" (Bruce Springsteen.) Although I tended to joke with Brian from time to time on how he reminded me a little of Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, he had the biggest heart of anyone I knew. He was never short on advice and support when my relationship of seven years was dissolving during the spring of 2009 and made sure I was able to "keep my chin up" at work and maintain a professional appearance. His devotion to his wife Becky was another thing that I always admired in him and he spoke often about her as "the love of his life" and wondered how he was ever able to get so lucky. He took the time to compliment me on what I was wearing and always supported my work on a professional level. Probably my best memory of Brian was when, out of the blue, he handed me a tour shirt he had gotten for me when he went to see Bruce Springsteen in concert during his 2009 "Working On A Dream" tour. I will miss swapping CDs and music videos with him. Anyone who knew him well will remember him for his huge heart and continual random acts of kindness.

I had the pleasure of working for Brian as a reporter at the Regional Standard. He took me under his wing and I am forever grateful. He showed me the ropes, shared his wisdom and taught me through his incredible story telling. I not only learned about the craft, but I learned about life and continue to follow his many lessons. He was an incredible man who had a profound impact on many people.

Dear Becky, I think it was about 10 years ago (is that the correct time frame?) that Brian came out to Colorado and we became reacquainted after many years. He walked into my house and we immediately made a connection. He walked all around looking at all the Connecticut pictures and and was immediately drawn to a picture of his Dad with his siblings. We talked and talked and had the best time together. Over the years Brian would call me at least once a month and we would talk about lots of things, from Uconn Women's basketball to things of the heart. Unfortunately some of those deep conversations we never finished. He always was so caring and sweet to me and always so concerned about how I was doing. He had some very close friends in Denver that he kept in contact with and he would always tease me about the weather, after talking to them. The end of the conversation always ended with "love ya" and I would always respond, "love you too, Brian" I will miss him greatly but am so grateful that he was in my life for the short time that it was. He loved you so much Becky and talked about you all the time. Please let me know what I can do to help and I hope to see you in Connecticut the next time I visit or if you indeed make that trip to Colorado. My deepest sympathies, love Judy

I had the pleasure of working with Brian in my days as a sports stringer for Shoreline Newspapers in Colchester at the Regional Standard. I always looked forward to Wednesday afternoons when I would bring in my copy each week and have the opportunity to talk with Brian, in the middle of deadline day, for 5 or 10 minutes. One thing you knew for certain, even in those busy moments, that Brian was always personable, had a great sense of humor and made for great conversation regarding local high school sports or the news of the day. Those summers covering Hebron American Legion during their dominant run in the 1990's still bring back many enjoyable memories at the park. Brian taught me a lot about constructing stories and gave me little tidbits here or there that I still carry with me to this day. Brian will be missed. RIP

Becky - I'm so very sorry to hear about Brian. We worked together for many years at Shore Line Newspapers, and I was proud to call him a friend and colleague. He was fair, hard-working and was a pleasure to be around. I will miss him but will think about him each time I have a spirited discussion with a Red Sox fan. Silvio.

I had the pleasure to work with and learn from Brian while the sports editor of the Regional Standard. Brian was a kind man who really cared about not only the paper but the communities it served - he was tireless producing a quality paper and was very fair. As a co-worker, Brian taught me invaluable information about the media (more than I could have learned in college courses I took), about newsgathering and assembly of news articles. He guided me with his thoughts and opinions on how to proceed with news stories but let me make my own decisions. Brian was always covering for members of the staff when they needed to miss an assignment - I don't think there's one person who worked for Brian who would have a bad word to say about him. Brian had a good sense of humor even during busy times and was just a "good person" for lack of a better way to describe him. He will be missed.
