Brian Boru O'Neill

West Point, 1969

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jim Hillebrand on May 13, 2020:

I knew Brian as a classmate and friend. But I never really knew about his life after West Point until a Google search for "brian o'neill exxon valdez". He was a passionate attorney who certainly cared about "the law", but moreover about "doing the right thing". Brian worked tirelessly to win compensation for those whose lives were ruined by that environmental disaster. He waged a long legal battle on behalf of tens of thousands of victims. Brian cared about them as people and he also worked to improve the health of the Earth he inhabited. What more need be said about the life of a man? RIP Brian. Well Done!
