Brian sat behind me in math class at New Trier West in his sophomore and my junior year. He was just as funny, delightful and kind as described here. I remember him as always smiling. Our teacher, Miss Studor, was a holdover from the era where you didn´t retire till they carried you out on a stretcher. She moved so slowly that by the time she turned around to write on the blackboard, you could have passed four notes. Brian was a delightful co-conspirator. I´m sorry we lost touch.

I worked with Brian for many years at the US Department of Treasury. He will always be missed for his infectious smile, friendly manner, & his concern for others. Brian left us way too early!

I can´t believe it has been 3 years since Brian passed away. The memories I wrote back then hold true today.

Dear Audrey, Leslie and Wendy, dear Jori and Sydney,,
So sad that Brian died so young. He was a lovable decent person. I appreciated seeing him at Mom's funeral.It isheart-breaking to lose a dear brother or lovable son or loving uncle.
He also lives on in the hearts of those who knew him.
Thing of you.
Love

Barbara and I send our thoughts and prayers to you at this sad time.
I remember when we were kids all the fun Haunukah Parties we had at Aunt Audrey's house in Wilmette. All the lovely Passover Seders at my Mom's and Aunt Audrey's. Also the special relationship he had with my Mom. My Mom would have written a lovely poem for him. Both Brian and my Mom were good at that. Tearing up just thinking about it.. Love, Jackie

To Brian's family. My friend Maryann called me today and told me of Brian's passing. So sorry to hear about Brian. Maryann and myself met Brian years ago at northwest national bank. He came in a room I was working in and was looking for something to eat. We became friends. We would go to plays, movies and restaurants together my prayers are with you God bless. Sharon pisarski

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May the words of Hosea 13:14 comfort you and give you peace.

I got to know Brian during Gerry's campaign. We often worked together in the office, laughed and talked. Two teenagers working on behalf of a common cause, both a little awkward and out of place. He was sweet and funny. May his memory be a blessing.
