John Barron Bremner

Dear Bremner Family -
So sorry to hear of your loss. Barron was one of my favorite "fixtures" at Cornell -- always warm and welcoming, smiling, helpful. Barron was a faculty advisor to the Thetas -- I met with him a couple times for who-knows-what, and I think we spent most of the time laughing and joking. If you never met Barron, meet one of his kids, and you'll get a slice of what great parents he and Bette were. He was a "gentle giant"; I used to refer to him as "Bear-on", which...

Barron's wide, warm smile will always be remembered for calming the nerves of countless new students and their parents, including me. He was a shining light.
