You will be greatly missed.
Brian was one of my very best friends and I am really sorry to see him go at such a young age. After 30 years of friendship and seeing him at least once a week for the last few years he will be truly missed. He was a great guy and cared deeply for his network of friends.
My dear Cousin,
I will forever remember all the wonderful memories of the times we spent at the NH lake house . May peace be with you and the angels guide you safely home. Cousin Joe
Truly saddened by Brian’s passing. He was a younger brother by ten years. We shared many’s the good time which will be remembered forever. A piece of the planet is now missing.
Rest peaceful cousin.
64 forevermore 💖
My prayers for all who loved Brian, especially his siblings. Please accept my condolences. May your memories bring you comfort.
Brian… uncle buzzy… you are else where, somewhere you are meant to be. In this past life with us, you showed us how to not be afraid in diving in head first without regard to failure. You taught us how to either fail forward and succeed, or leave trying and find gold. You also taught us how to make incredible champanegos and I raise one to you now! You are truly missed now and forever but I hold true knowing you are now happier than ever. We love you forever, uncle Brian!
Your second favorite niece Steph : )
Loved working with and knowing Brian. I always left our conversations in a good mood. What a great attitude and positive person.
Brian indeed ….A True gentleman, scholar, hardworking & eternal optimist . He loved , loved the beach, music, & festive atmospheres . He was devoted to sunsets at Lido Beach!🏖️. A lifeguard to friends & mother earths waters.
He used to laugh ,chuckle …. get such a kick as we both jumped the Gulf of Mexico waves. Giggling like children as we competed who could ride waves longest or ground into the sand!! He used to say joyously “I laughed with carefree little girl enthusiasm!”
One in a million beautiful humans … A true best friend, guardian angel & confidant. ‼️🙏❤️🙏
Bri, Miss you soooooo, soooooo much already ! Our beliefs similar in many ways. I will feel your spirit & infinite influence forever! Until i see you again !
Love ❤️ Terry
I knew Brian professionally and we shared a love of the ocean and marine life. I'll miss our conversations and collaborations. The Geery family will be in my prayers.
Brian, you are always a positive presence. You held the truth. So sad that you have passed.
Brian was a friend and a colleague. As noted above, he had a sunny disposition and he loved the sun, the sand and the surf. We only had a few phone calls since I moved from Sarasota, so this news came as a surprise to me. He was athletic and healthy. I'll miss him… I wish I kept more in touch.

A true West Beach Burn Out, H.S.P. Forever on the stand watching the waters for trouble. With all of us forever your backup. The only lifeguard who could do a hand stand on a moving skate board???? Our days in Bayville, watching you windsurf on the L.I. Sound. Attending both of your fun weddings. I want my gifts back. Watching you evolve from a lifeguard, truck driver, sales person, being rich and not so rich, large boat owner/captain and finally an incredible consultant and author. Will miss our birthday chats. Our memories of you will live forever, love ya buddy. Andy and Bobbie.
Knew Brian from our youth group at St Edward's Parish on Long Island in Syosset, NY. He was always full of joy and life. Many times he took a bunch of us to the beach or skiing. May he rest in peace.
Brian and I skateboarded a lot in 1977 & 1978. Only saw him once since then but he always made a good impression. Sorry to hear this news.
May Brian rest in peace. A very kind person who I went to St. Edward’s with and in the same class. He gave me a very special Valentine’s gift when we were 10. I have always remembered. I am sorry for his early passing.
I will really miss my great friend of nearly 50 years. Many many fabulous times together, including skiing, Lake Winnipesaukee, occasional stay over in my NYC apartment and of course at the beach.
Always a bright candle
He was a great flosser!
Here's to Brian, the man who made every moment spent with him a blast. On the boat with INXS as our soundtrack, on Martha's Vineyard bowing to the tequila gods, and on the slopes where we endeavored to keep up with him skiing like there was no tomorrow. He lived life full throttle, and we were lucky to hang with him for the ride.
To Brian, I raise my glass for a final, final.
Brain’s oldest bro here. Thinking about Brain’s soul a lot lately, after an old friend of mine had a mass said for it, at St. Edwards. He had a good one, simpatico with the comments I see here. Always in a good mood, upbeat, loved to laugh. Countless memories, but particularly sailing a Hobie 16 for three summers on the Great South Bay, covering countless nautical miles. He was Mate Mucos, me Captain C*(use your imagination). He graduated to Captain Mucos in later years with his avid boating, gave me a wonderful 50th bday in Essex Bay. The hole in my heart grows deeper every day, but I know he’s found safe harbor. I asked him if he was afraid of death not long ago. “No,” was his immediate answer. Now at the end of the fourth quarter, happy sails to you, Brain.
Brian and I had great times and adventures together; ski trips with our parents, summers on the beaches of Long Island, long bike rides. Miss you, Brian!
Please accept my deepest condolences. Brian and I worked together close to 30 years ago when he ran Results Consulting. We have checked in now and then over the years. I wanted to let you know what a kind man he was. He hired me as a sub-contractor knowing my goal was to build the same type of firm. I worked with him for over a year. He gave me a client who launched my company and when I went back and offered as much compensation as he wanted. Brian told me no because he knew I had young children and what it took to get started. That wasn't a business deal. It was a man who cared about someone else no matter the cost to him.
I know there isn't much I can say to take the pain away. However, I hope your journey of healing is protected by your memories. Tom Morrill
I will miss you my friend! May God bless you, rest easy.
Dear Brian's family:
I first spoke with Brian in October of 2015 as we explored a partnership together. I always thought highly of Brian and he seemed like a true gentleman.
I shared a story about my Mom who was diagnosed with gall bladder cancer. He's one of those guys you just want to share those kinds of personal things with–and we had never met in person, only spoke over the phone.
He told me "Do your best to be optimistic and have faith in her ability to heal". I always remembered that and his message to me came at an important time for our family. He later followed up with an email that had this message in it:
"Life is so precious and so fragile. I can only send positive thoughts your way and wish that, in some way, you and your family draw strength, peace and togetherness from the experience you are going through."
I will always remember Brian for his warm heart, thoughtful messages and just being a really good person–something he didn't have to try very hard at because it came so naturally to him.
I will miss him.
