    I am so sorry and grieved to hear of Brian's passing. He was an amazing person that I met in the Verizon CATC group and the Bowdoin building. The world is so much poorer for losing a person like Brian.

    To the Flaherty Family I Express My most sincere condolences. I got to know Brian many years ago as he worked next door to me at the Verizon building on Saratoga St in East Boston. We had many many great conversations over the years and I still continued to see him at the Government Center location when he transferred there. He was a Great Guy that Loved his family to the moon and back as it always reflected in his contributions with me. The world was a Brighter Place with him in it and that's a fact. I'll never forget him. RIP My Friend you definitely are in a Zillion 🙏💔

    There are no words to describe how much Brian will be missed. We will forever treasure, our Jamaica, vacations, Cape Cod, weekends, and all the parties at the Finertys. Brian always was there, just offering a smile and a kind word, and had a way of making everybody feel happy around him. he was one of the best there's no question about that. Karen, Shannon and Caitlin always know that he will always be with you....only a thought away!❤️❤️😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻
