    My condolences to the Morrissey Family. Brian was kind, so smart, and always had you laughing. I have such fond memories of all the time spent at the Milton home. Thinking of all of you. Rest in peace, Brian. Joanne Landry

    Brian had a good heart and a wonderful self-deprecating sense of humor. He was a great light that sadly didn't see his own brilliance. I wish he could have known the joy he brought to the world especially through the love he gave his daughters. I often recal the fun days hanging out in Quincy and laughing to tears. I'll remember that Brian fondly. Wishing his loved one's peace knowing he is no longer in pain.

    I'll always remember being a kid and the excitement of a Morrissey Christmas party at aunt Erin and uncle Bobby's knowing the "napkin thrower" would be there. Uncle Brian would come out of nowhere around the house pelting Savannah and I with rolled up napkins and chase us down the driveway on our way out, making us laugh until our stomachs hurt. I remember laughing halfway home on the ride after that. There was always laughter when you were with uncle Brian. Rest in peace. You will be so missed.
