Learning that Brian lost his wife three years ago, I write now to express my condolences to him and his sons.
Brian and I are classmates from UAlbany and started our radio broadcasting careers almost 50 years ago on WSUA 640, the student radio station. His career is more illustrious than mine. I was on the air at two commercial stations but have worked mostly in print since high school graduation.
WSUA justifiably honored Brian with a distinguished alumni award at an alumni...

I'm just now learning of the passing of Victoria Dennis. I did not know her but I have listened to Brian virtually every day for many years. Brian, the loss to you and your family touches my heart. I have no doubt that your wife's loving and generous spirit lives on in you and your children and is a blessing that is through you, shared with those who you share your mornings and your heart with. May her memory always be a source of joy and blessings for you and all who love you.

Oh, Vicky, I am so so sad that you are gone. I did not hear this until now. You were a devoted parent who cared so deeply about your kids and their schools. You had great ideas about getting grants for MS 54 and your input was invaluable. The last time I saw you was too long ago-You were touring Bronx Science with Simon. I just thought you were a great gal, honest, genuine, no bull and just a lovely person. I will not forget you.

I'm so sad to learn of this. She sounds like an extraordinary person, which I know her husband is. It sounds like this family is built on values of community, wisdom, understanding, and love. We listeners are so blessed to share in your bounty. A million thanks, and much love.

I learned last night of your terrible loss, Brian, and though I never met Victoria, or even knew her name, I figured her to be a most remarkable person, based on who you are. I am so sad for your loss.

Happy Times
Those who were fortunate enough to know Vicki, knew that she was one of the most thoughtful people that they could ever meet. She welcomed and mentored us when we were new to the Special Music School and was the unifying force among a group of class parents that became lifelong friends. Vicki initiated parent potluck dinners that we continue to hold even though our children are no longer at SMS. We are so grateful that she and Brian came to the last one that was held last May. We will always...
