    Brain and I meet working for Bristol Marine in the 80s.We became almost instant friends.I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning often standing on the docks overlooking the calm harbor sipping our coffee talking about plans for the day.Its hard to explain the laughter we shared in and out of work. I didn't hear of his passing until today I was shocked and saddened of the news and upset that I had missed it. My sincere condolences to his wonderful wife Lynne and to his family.He will surely be missed.

    No words can ever make what's happened even slightly okay. But I want you to know that Brian was an amazing person and a special part of our Dunkin day. He's brightened every 5am stop he's made into 381 Dunkin in Bristol! His absence didn't go unnoticed, we all missed him very much. To his family that he leaves behind, take solace in knowing that you had such a pure and wonderful soul apart of your life. We will try and pay our respects on Saturday. My best wishes - Mare
