My condolences to the family.

Many memories. First time I met you we were waiting for the bus at journal square. You were not paying attention, the bus was coming and I pulled you out of the way. And so began a very special friendship. We would car pool to work, catching the train, ferry, and sometimes driving all the way into New York. We shared our hopes and dreams for the future and at times disagreed just like siblings. We called each other brother and sister. Friday night was pizza night and I shared many Friday’s with you and your family. You had a big heart and was there to laugh with me and comfort too. Rest In Peace. Know you will be missed. Ann

My sincerest condolences to the Nodine family. Brian was a great man. He was the kindest, most loyal, genuine and sweetest friend and co-worker I have ever met. He was the easiest person to talk to and confide in. I will miss his text messages that he always sent throughout the years. He will always have a special place in my heart and will always be in my thoughts and everlasting memories.

Mr. Nodine, as I knew him since I was 7, was a great man. My fondest memories growing up were spent in the Nodine household. From Friday night pizza dinners to all weekend soccer tournaments, Mr. Nodine was always there to be a part of it. He was a great coach and raised an amazing group of kids. Mrs. Nodine and Mr. Nodine always had their door open and treated me like I was part of the family. I’m so sorry to hear of his passing and am grateful I had the opportunity to know him. Rest In Peace, Coach.

My deepest condolences to the family. It is never easy to lose a parent, and worse to lose a spouse. My heart and prayers go with you all in this time of grief. May this time of great loss bring a new closeness to you all.

I’ll miss our Christmas Pizza Parties and our conversations with your unending patience with my questions on our grandparents and family.

I’m so very grateful we stayed connected. It has allowed me to not only have you all as family but your children as my friends.

RIP Cousin, I will miss you!

It’s hard to think of just one memory of my dad. There are so many that truly helped shape me into the person I am today.

My dad coached all five of us in soccer and when he stopped coaching he joined our mom on the side line cheering us on. The two together made a great team and their love for their children is what brought us close as a family.

My dad is the reason why we have the tradition of Friday night pizza. When you’re young you don’t realize the impact that something like this has and this simple tradition has defined how I see family. He may not physically be there anymore but I know he will always be with us not just on Fridays but everyday and everywhere we go. I can picture him now staying silent but when the opportune moment struck my dad would sneak in a one liner that was always hysterical. He could just do that and have us laughing and enjoying the moment with one another.

Thank you Dad for being our rock. I know we made you proud and every time I said good bye you always told me. You’d always give me a kiss good bye and say “I’m proud of you Lex, I love you.” Of course I’d always reply back “thanks Dad I know you are I love you too.” I regret that I never said as much that I’m proud that you are my father and for that I am sorry. I may not have said it as much as I heard it but I want you to know that I love you so much and am so lucky and extremely proud to have such a great father like you. I am going to miss you but I know I will see you again someday. I love you Dad. - Love Always, Lexa

Sharing just one memory is a hard thing to do. It can be one as early as him holding mine and my brothers hand while we watch as our mother was attacked by ducks. It can be as recent as the last day I spoke with him. He reassured me by giving me a thumbs up, his caring smile, and an "I love you."

What resonates with me the most was when we sat down together after my first daughter was born. We had the most heart to heart talk. It ended with me in disbelief that my life thus far has turned out this great. I always thought my life would be the exact opposite of what I have now. My dad just smiled, and explained to me that he always knew this would be my life. He knew how each of us would turn out. That we may not recognize the potential we have in ourselves, but as a father you see it.

Your teachings and love will always be with me. They guide me in everything that I do. I hope that I can be a great father to my girls just like you were to us. I love you Dad. Look over us and continue to guide us.

He was the best father a girl could ask for. He was caring and generous no matter the adversity he faced especially when it came to his children. He coached us all, teaching the importance of strength on and off the field. I’ll take his lessons with me to this day as I’m sure many others will as well since he made an impact on many lives, not just our family’s. Through his love and adoration for my mother and my siblings and I, we grew close together. He believed in each of us saying how proud he was always. I’ll love and miss him forever.... as I told you, Dad, I’ll see you in my dreams and continue to make you proud ❤️ - Veronica (Roni) Nodine

When I was little he made me feel safe

When I was 10 he made me laugh

When I was a teenager he made me question

When I was older he made me angry

When I became a father he made me understand

When he died he made me think about all the wasted years in between

To anyone and everyone that has ever loved or cared about this man, I am with you. He was a husband, a father, a grandfather, an uncle, a cousin, a nephew, a friend, a colleague.

I am proud to say... Brian Nodine was my brother. And I will miss him more than anyone will ever know.

One of my favorite memories with you was traveling to our soccer or basketball ball games. It was the time we got to spend together in the car before and after the game. It didn’t matter if we won or lost but always had a laugh on the way home. Whether it was teaching myself lessons about the game or life in general you always knew what to say and how to spin it positively. I’m gonna miss our talks more than anything in this world but I know you will always be with me and the rest of the family. You will still find a way to guide us and teach us. Thank you for being the father that you were and always providing us. I’m going to miss you every day but I know you’re in a better place shining down on us.

Love and miss your forever

Brian Jr
