He was a proud and legendary father and grandfather who never missed a chance to support his<\/p>\n
children and grandchildren at their sporting events, motocross races, and life events both big and<\/p>\n
small. An avid outdoorsman, Brian found peace in hunting and fishing\u2014whether in quiet<\/p>\n
solitude or surrounded by family and friends. He cherished the fellowship he gained by playing<\/p>\n
pool at local social clubs, being a member of the AMA, and the NY Snowmobile Club. A<\/p>\n
lifelong Steelers fan, he loved nothing more than gathering for family Steelers nights and sharing<\/p>\n
his passion with his family and their friends. Known for his tireless work ethic and love of the<\/p>\n
outdoors, his soul belonged to his family. Brian\u2019s presence will be deeply missed by his family,<\/p>\n
