Brian Russell - President Bryston

Hi Folks,

Saturday I lost a terrific friend and business associate.

Brian Russell passed away in his sleep Saturday from a suspected heart attack. He was 68. I worked with Brian for over 45 years and he was the most kind and caring individual I have ever known. He came across as a rough gruff bear of a guy but deep down he had the emotions of a teddy bear.

I will miss him a lot and I am still in disbelief over this.

James, very sorry for your loss. My sincerest condolences. May Mr. Russell rest in peace.

Very sorry to hear that. Condolences for your loss.

James, my sincere condolences to you, his family and the colleagues.

I am sorry. Too young to pass away.

James... I too am heart broken to hear this news. Over the years I have spoken with Brian quite a bit. He was always an absolute gentleman, and a pleasure to speak to.

My heartfelt condolences go out to you, his family, and the entire Bryston team. This is a terrible loss. RIP Brian.

James and Team at Bryston,

We cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling but let us share our heart-felt condolence.

George

James I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember well the "Bryston Breakfasts" at the Bismarck Hotel during Chicago CES's. The brothers, Brian, Christopher , and John held court with many of the coolest designers of high end. All dealers and manufacturers were welcome and many of us started every CES morning with the Russells. There was one morning where Dick Sequerra held an entire banquet room in awe, hanging on his every word.

I hadn't seen Brian much over the past few years. I always took his giving me a hard time as a sign of affection. He quickly morphed into the Brian you knew so well. I cannot imagine Bryston without him.

James,

Let me join with others to express my deepest sympathies for your loss, you personally, his family, friends and all the people at Bryston.
