We have only known Brian for about 9 months, but Brian and his family are great people. We want all of them to know that they have our condolence and we are here for them. Tara Zgurski and Jerrod Hixenbaugh
A good friend, A great person, a great Dad. I will miss you very much. I will always remember you.
From the time I first started at Greater Pittsburgh, I had a good connection with Brian. He was very conscientious in his work ethic and his sense of humor was right in line with mine. He could not only work with his hands, but with his mind too. I’m proud to have worked with him. I will always miss his “AAARRRT” greeting when we’d pass by at the shop. The Porsche owners in Heaven are lucky to have him.
Amy, Tyler and Matthew, Our hearts and prayers go out to you. I am out of town for the weekend, but you are certainly in my thought and prayer as well as all the teacher and students at Weirton Heights. The school community is here for anything you need.
Amy: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys during this most difficult time. It’s reassuring to know that Brian and Pat are together again in Heaven catching up on those classic car converations. God Bless you and the boys!
I am sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. My prayers our with you at this time.

To Brian’s wife, sons, & family: I was very saddened to hear of Brian’s passing. Since I haven’t needed work at Greater Pgh Auto (or Collision) in a long time, I haven’t seen Brian. He was a favorite there along with Mark and Sue. Brian was great guy, a helper, and had a servant’s heart. May your memories be treasured in your hearts, always. Gigi Skapik, old customer at Gr. Pgh Auto
Dear O’Neill family, I worked with Brian at Sarvey’s about 20 years ago. What a nice guy…even as a teen. This is quite a shock to hear about! Please accept my sincerest sympathy. Brian was a sweetheart and I hope that that lives on in his boys. Lisa (Runkel) Boron

We thank you for letting us be such and important part of your lives and we are so proud of all of you for what grace and dignity you have shown throughout this entire journey.

Thank You for letting us become a part of your extended family and thank you for becoming part of ours. We Love You Guys, The Leathers Family
Amy, Tyler, and Matthew, My parents and I have known you two since you moved into the house next door. Brian was always such a kind person and always said ‘Hello’ when you pass him on the street. I am very sorry that he is no longer here, but he will always be in everyone’s hearts. You know that if you ever need anything that I am always here for you and as my mom would say just a ‘yell’ away. You are always in my thoughts and prayers! I love you all!! Annette Underwood
