I was one of Brian's teachers at Brandeis - he was one of those students you will always remember - so full of creativity and generosity - millions of ideas and a huge heart. I am so sorry for your loss - he was deeply loved at Brandeis.

Dear Paternostro family and Brian's friends,
Brian's zeal and love meant so much to me. He was the most intimately close friend I've ever had, and I'm not sure where I would be today without his support at Brandeis. Thank you for shaping Brian into the wonderful person that he was. I am heartbroken, and so sorry for your loss.
