Laura, I extend my condolences to you and your family. Brian was a professional friend of mine from our days at Hewitt Associates in Lincolnshire. I always looked forward to seeing him at national actuarial meetings and catching-up. He was a special person, a wonderful professional, and someone who would lend an ear and provide good consult. I hope the healing process goes well.

Kind regards,

Steve Eisenstein
