A more humble and genuine human being would be hard to find. Brian's mother Nora and my mother were best friends. I remember convincing him to audition for "The King & I" in high school ... and when he got a prime role, we decided to refer to each other as "cousins" because of the bonds of friendship our families shared. Brilliant, talented, self-effacing and generous, this was a tireless servant who truly did God's work on this earth. It is said a man's character is his fate, and there is no doubt Brian Vanicky is seated at the table of our Lord. Bless him and all who loved him, especially his wife and children, at this very difficult time.
