Hi Deb, this is Julie. Just wanted to thank you so very much for your very lovely words. It’s difficult as you know losing a brother at such a young age, but I know he’ll be up there with people like Jamie and your Dad, strumming away on his guitar. Love Julie

So sorry to hear about Brian. Thoughts and prayers to your family! We could always count on him to be on the porch and he always said “hello” and gave us a smile. My best memory is: 19 years ago, when my two horses broke loose and were galloping down the roads past the golf-course and down by the lake. As he was walking by my house and saw what happened, he didn’t hesitate to help me catch my horses and even had to lead one of them back by the halter. I’ll never forget that!! RIP Brian.

Dear Peggy and Dan. I’m Brian’s oldest sister Julie. On behalf of my parents Norm and Darlene Morency as well as all my siblings, I want to thank you for your kind words and sharing such a wonderful story about Brian. It’s one that will remain deeply in my mind, because it was such a “Brian” thing. He loved helping, it was just his way.So many people have talked about Brian and his chair on the porch. He liked seeing people and loved when they waved at him and always would smile back at them. Brian so loved being a part of his community in Westford. He will be sorely missed by us all.

My deepest condolences to Brian’s family. I remember a completely foggy night many years ago when Brian offered me a ride home in his canoe from the Dam. The idea was to drop me off at 40 Steps Beach and then he was going to paddle pack to the Dam. As soon as we pushed off from shore, the fog totally surrounded us and there was nothing but absolute darkness. I was paddling the canoe and Brian sat up front playing his harmonica as we went across the lake having no idea which way we were going. It was a completely surreal feeling being out there trying to find our way on just intuition. We somehow, finally, got to 40 Steps and I told Brian he should leave the canoe there for the night and walk home rather than paddle back alone but he’d have none of it. I remember pushing him off from the shore and standing there for a good bit as the sounds of his paddling faded to silence. Whenever I think about that night and Brian paddling off into the dark all by himself, I think about the turn his life was sadly about to take. Thank you for the ride Brian and safe passage on your way home.

Hello Dave, Just wanted to thank you so much on behalf of my Dad and Mom. Your story touched me deeply and as the tears ran down my face, I thought of how grateful we all are (his siblings) to we read memories like this. Although Brian had his issues in life, I honestly cannot remember him ever being mean to anyone. He always wanted to help, and had a smile on his face, I believe he was born with this type of personality. There was only one Brian. He went far too soon, but he’s at peace now. He’ll be up there strumming a guitar and blowing on a harmonica. Take care-Julie

I’m so glad you shared your remarks about Brian, waving and always saying hello. He loved Westford and loved sitting in his chair on the porch. So many people have told my parents as well as myself how Brian would wave and smile as they drove by. He will be sorely missed by us all.

So sorry to hear of Brian’s passing.
He was a great friend and neighbor, a very gentle guy. I remember when I was 6 or 7, and cut my foot on the slide at the NIA park. Brian (who was built like Hercules at the time) carried me home on his back. That’s how he was, always willing to jump in and do the right thing. He was always a bit of a hero in my eyes.

Hello Billy, I’m Brian’s oldest sister Julie. On behalf of my father Norm and my Mother Darlene Morency as well as all my siblings, I want to thank you for your very kind words and your story re Brian helping you with your cut foot. I loved your comparison of Brian to Hercules. At that time Brian was doing a lot of body building and he really was very built up, like Hercules. He loved helping everyone and would do so without a second thought, hence why I think he was so loved by his community. He will be sorely missed by us all.

Hello Kathy and Denny, I’m Brian’s oldest sister Julie. On behalf of my parents Norm and Darlene Morency as well as all my siblings. I want to thank you for your very kind words re Brian. Just a day or two ago in speaking to my Dad, who at that time was outside sitting in Brian’s chair, I heard someone beeping and then heard my father speaking to them. My father told me that so many people have stopped to talk to him about Brian, he was deeply touched. I think it’s a close tie between his guitar and his love of being outdoors on that chair, waving and smiling at people who would beep their horns and smile back. He liked everybody. He will be sorely missed by us all.

My condolences to the morencey family. Brian was a gentle soul. Just to share a memory of him i can remember him wandering the neighborhood with his acoustic guitar. The song that comes to mind would be roundabout by yes. Just something that stuck in my head more than 30 years ago. RIP Bri
