accomplished chef, sharing his talents with numerous restaurants
during his impressive career.
Many of Brian’s
coworker relationships fostered lasting friendships. Brian enjoyed
playing golf, doing crossword puzzles and spending time with friends.
His creative, original greeting cards were Brian’s special
trademark. Brian possessed an incredible memory and could recount
sporting events, scores and specific details about many of the great
athletes of the ‘70s and ‘80s. He held a very beloved place in
his heart for Lake Champlain and his memorable boyhood years on
Crescent Beach Drive.

with a sensitive, forgiving and amazing spirit. He will be greatly
missed by his surviving brother Daniel R. Bing and sister-in-law,
Kristine M. Bruni; brother Randal J. Bing and nephew, Jason P. Bing;
as well as extended family and many friends and coworkers.
