Brian's family made the very difficult decision to take him off of life support on Sunday and sadly he passed away this morning. Brian was a great person and friend of mine for over 30 years and I will miss him. He did possess a bit of a quirky personality which is why some of you had him pegged as a Providence fan. Actually he was a long time season ticket holder for St. John's. He made some positive posts about Ed Cooley and Providence and when several posters called him out as a relative or Ed Cooley himself he was only too happy to take the ball and run with it. He attended Cornell and played lacrosse before transferring and ultimately graduating from Binghamton. May he rest in peace.
