BRIAN KENNEDY

Hi Donna: this is from Mike Gardiner, I worked with Brian for many years at Hertz until 1996. He was probably one of the smartest people I´ve ever met. I just found out about his passing and am so sorry for you and your family. Sincerely, Mike Gardiner

I just sat on the bench placed in honor of his friendship on the trail in Laguna Sur in Laguna Niguel, CA
The plaque in his memory stated his name so I googled it and here I am. I walk that trail most weekdays. I will smile every time I pass it now knowing a little bit about the revered human being that it honors.
Thank you neighbors

I was so sorry to learn of Brian’s passing. He will be remembered by those who knew him for his intelligence, quick wit, fairness and sense of humor. What innovative changes he brought to TWA! My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

Brian was a great colleague and a good friend with a special wife. Nancy and I are so sad to hear of his passing. Brian was respected and successful in his business career, and was a great human being. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. RIP. Love to Donna and Family.

I first met Brian at TWA. He was a Director of Marketing, and I was the Sales Manager in Southern California. We worked together on a number of projects that helped make So. Cal become very successful. That relationship became a very good friends, and lasted when Brian became head of Marketing at Hertz.
He was a great working partner, but a much better friend. I will miss him very much.

I so enjoyed reading this beautiful tribute to this much-loved family man and die-hard New Yorker. What a remarkable life Brian led! Thank you for sharing it. Sending my condolences and love to all of the Kennedys.

Gracious And twinkling Brian with the world’s best laugh. With Brian you felt welcome four blocks before you stepped into his presence. So smart and you never felt he had to prove it. He accepted all of our craziness with a knowing calm. He was made to make and be surrounded by girls — and to love them so fiercely. Wise and global yet happy at home with family and friends. He gave us Kerry. She introduced us and now we have made a family. And Brian helped our family always feel we were part...

Brian, you are and always will be sorely missed by both your friends and family!!! I have such wonderful memories of our fun times together at Mecox!
