I went to St Mary's Grade School and DePaul HS with Brian. Brian's Dad drove a group of us to Basketball games in 8th grade. Brain was on the team and I was a Cheerleader. But the time I remember best is in grade school. Each year on St. Patrick's day, Brian would sing "Oh Danny Boy" and bring tears to my eyes. To this Day I think of Brian whenever I hear that song and smile.....it will forever remind me of Brian.
Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
My sincerest sympathies to Brian's family Suzanne Fitzgerald Class of '68
