I'm very sad to hear about Brian's passing. He was instrumental in helping the AIESEC alumni group get off the ground by donating the use of the e-mail system used to send out alumni newsletters. I've always remembered his kindness, generosity and patience in helping us understand the system. I wish his wife, children and his many friends the very best.

Christiana & family,

I am working out of town and my wife alerted me to Brian's passing.

I'm certain no words or thoughts can vanquish the pain you're feeling.

In the brief time that I worked with you, the love in your household was obvious. I would think it should serve as a beacon to all who know you and, Brian's passing, serve as testament to all to cherish what they have.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family in the difficult days ahead.
