I am so sorry to learn of Brian's passing. Since I lost touch with him, I had no idea. I am devastated.
I taught Brian at the University of Scranton, and he was one of the most impressive students I've had the privilege of knowing. I was so proud that he attended Cornell Law School.
I will hold the embrace of my kids a bit longer tonight in Brian's memory. I wish all of his loved ones God's peace at this time.
