Obituary Part 1
Brian grew up in Levittown and like the rest of his siblings he had a wonderful childhood under the tutelage of loving parents. Brian usually excelled in school. He attended Division Ave HS, Michigan State University, the University of Virginia (BA) and later obtained an MBA from Boston University. Brian was interested in many and varied subjects: science, math, astronomy, languages (including a smattering of Latin, Russian, Gaelic, German). He was still taking German tele-lessions up until the time of his death. Brian’s work life was similarly varied. In Virginia, he worked in the publishing industry. He lived in Boston for many years working in financial services for various companies before finally retiring on disability from State Street Bank.
Brian had many health challenges, but he was not one to complain. He did the best he could and tried to enjoy life to the fullest. When he lived in Boston, he loved going to the movies and for many years he saw just about every movie that came out. He liked stamp collecting. He watched classic movies and television. He accumulated a large collection of classic movie posters and lobby cards. Brian loved travel and family vacations. Whether going to Europe, Disney World, San Diego, the Jersey Shore or the Rocking Horse ranch, Brian enjoyed being with people and sharing the joy of the lives of all his family members. He would often send out an e-mails with information about things that he thought others might like to know about, perhaps something he noticed online about the University of Connecticut for Ryan or some rare comet sighting that he thought Erin might like to see.
