Fond memories working with Brian many many years ago starting in the 70´s when Hilton transferred each of us to Dallas to work on a new reservation system.
I particularly remember how wonderful it was when Sue and Brian married.
"May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort."

I met Brian in 1972 when I started working for Compass Computer Services in Dallas. We worked together at Compass and another company for nearly 30 years. My wife, Debbie, and I fondly remember the many dinners we had with Brian and Sue. And, in all my frequent interactions with Brian over those years, I cannot recall Brian ever being angry or even being in a bad mood. He was a such positive and kind soul and his sudden illness and death is so very sad. Our sincerest condolences to Sue and his daughters.

Brian used to visit my mom´s restaurant, Park Side Grill in Brookline, when he was a young man. Facebook allowed us to reminisce about those days and recently he had me do a couple of paintings for him. He loved his hometown and researched its history to share with others. My sympathies to his family. I will remember him fondly. May he Rest In Peace.
