I met Brian while working at Electric Boat in 1999. He was always willing to help if you needed anything. I did my best to help him in return. We were both members of the SMPTE New York Chapter. Brian was Chair of the CT subsection. He was very dedicated to his volunteer efforts. He was very knowledgeable about the latest video camera technologies. I learned a lot from him. I remember fondly driving with him to meetings in New York City. Time would pass by quickly listening to his intelligent and entertaining conversations. Brian was best man at my wedding in 2022. He was a trusted and loyal friend. Brian was a caring person with a positive attitude. He never complained as his health was failing him. I am grateful to have known him. Brian will be dearly missed. My prayers and condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
