offices and resolve numerous outstanding issues.
I have fond memories of Thursday nights at the NY Plaza bar, the preferred watering hole for many Chase employees. We were often joined by Bob Fredrickson, Ray Barry, Steve Tedeschi, Peter Plimpton, Tony Stissi and many others from IMT and IMTI. Brian and Ray tended to dominate the conversations. Those were good times.
In 1985, my future wife, Christine Secola started working in IMTI with Brian. Although we all moved on to other opportunities, Christine and I stayed in close contact with Brian. In 1990, he was a member of my wedding party when Christine and I were married. My children thought of him as him their uncle.
Although separated by miles of ocean, I considered him to be my closest friend. I was proud to know him and am a better person because of it. My wife and I were both shocked and saddened to learn of his passing. Our hearts go out to his partner, Joanne, and her son, Charlie, as well as Brian’s family and his very good friends Tony and Jayne. He was a caring and generous person and will be sorely missed.
