Brian and Tiffany please accept my deepest sympathy. Brian please take peace in knowing that you are an amazing friend, husband, father, brother and son and your dad got to see all of that before leaving this earth. I am certain he is so proud of the man you have become and will always be with you and a part of you. Remember the good times and smile to honor his love....

Dear Claire, We are so saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man. It is so hard to find the words to say to you. He had a smile that we will remember always.His kindness to our family was always spot on. Our pizza parties together , all the different times we would come to Delaware and see you and Jim were such fun times. He was a very special man, and he will always remain in our hearts. We still can't believe it. God give you the strength to get through this. All our love to you Claire and your family.
