I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Brian's passing. I will always remember and appreciate how actively he engaged and generously contributed to every conversation and to our mutual learning in the LCP Study Group. It won't be the same without him - he's an irreplaceable gem. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and to all of us who knew, enjoyed, and benefited from him.

I was shocked to read of Brian's death today. That someone so very present and engaged is no longer with us seems too hard to grasp. Brian was a work friend from the LCP study group (the group's deep influence in our lives can be seen in among the many memories of Brian posted here). His provocative (though always kind and self-aware) posts appealed and we sought each other out for conversations by Zoom separate from the group. Conversations with Brian on the forum or by Zoom were never surface-level and his own journey of self-understanding as well as his intentional work to embrace parts of himself he had previously kept at bay shone through and taught me so much by example.
Brian, I don't know what your beliefs were or where you are today, but whatever the community you find yourself in will be richer by far and gently challenged to be its very best because of your presence. I miss you.

My heart is with Brian's family and friends. We crossed paths several times in our coaching work, and I was always struck by his powerful generosity and playful provocation. He was the rare, brilliant person who could hold a strong view while simultaneously staying wide open to the insights of others. He was always quick to laugh and to learn. His writing was a gift. I am a better coach because of him. Thank you, Brian. I will miss you.

Brian had an intensity about learning, sharing, and holding himself accountable to his values, and his belief that there are ways, always, to hold a light for others to see new perspectives. Matching his intensity was a big heart and capacity to be humble, and a spirit that welcomed diversity and deep thoughtfulness. He added much to my learning and I'm grateful. My condolences to his family and friends as you feel this deep loss.

When I joined the LCP study group in 2022, I noticed that Brian was a particularly active community member. I reached out to him. Soon thereafter, we drank Manhattans (via video) and began a too-short friendship. I admired Brian for his love of learning and zest for life. Also, he was funny and never took himself too seriously. I suspect everyone was happier in his presence! Godspeed to you, Brian, on the next leg of your journey...

Brian and I knew each other through the Leadership Circle Profile study group, where he was an active, insightful and open-hearted contributor. (Also, we once had an e-mail exchange that was so hilariously snarky it still makes me smile.) I am sure he was as excellent at, as he was dedicated to, his work. My sincere condolences to Brian's family.

Brian was a colleague who added to my career in many ways. We were in the same class often and I benefited from his thoughts and ideas every time we were in small group or 1 on 1´s. I´m sure his family will miss him greatly. I will miss him. My sympathies to all who loved him.

A beautiful being - present, deep, warm- whom I had the pleasure of meeting in person just once. His regular, on-line contributions to our Leadership Circle Profile study group were insightful and helped us move the needle on our learning. We need more Brians.....Blessings.

I was not aware of this memorial page and so happy to see it so we can all acknowledge Brian and all the gifts he shared with us. I first met him through a coaching certification and we stayed friends ever since. I was attracted to his sense of humor, his wealth of knowledge, his deep loyalty to his friendships and of course his political commentary. This new yorker loved it. We were suppose to have a bourbon video call after his croquet event in Florida -- instead, I now toast to him. We lost a great one in Brian.

I met Brian in the fast lane at Memorial pool in the Fall of 2023. Between lengths we shared a similar sense of humour and I admired his sharp commentary and delightful wit. We would also exchange selective recommendations for the latest Netflix series worth watching. In between our early morning aquatic banter we actually did swim as well!
He was a welcoming individual to all and his presence will be greatly missed.
My condolences go out to his family and friends.

Dear Elizabeth, Erin & Ainsley, I am so sorry for your loss. I was actually reminiscing about Brian just a month or two ago, remembering a moment when you were all arriving at mom's Christmas party. Even when i was a kid, Brian always had a way of making me feel important. I am so very saddened by this news.

We will all miss you and your irreverent but thoughtful wit that kept us giggling at Norseman Swim Club! RIP Brian.

I knew Brian as a friend from the world of croquet. He always struck me as exceptionally kind and thoughtful. My wife and I were saddened to learn of his passing, and will miss him. Our deepest condolences go to his family and friends.
