In Memory of Gary R. Brown, P.E., Q.E.P., C.M.C., L.S.R.P., C.P., U.M.R. 

It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we inform you of the passing of RT 's founder, Gary R. Brown. Gary was recently diagnosed with cancer and passed away quickly and peacefully amidst the treatment process.

Gary was a highly respected engineer and entrepreneur who possessed a great depth of knowledge and expertise in the fields of environmental science and engineering. His contributions to the industry and his clients are incalculable. His energy and drive for his work was second to none, and he possessed an ability to connect with all those with whom he worked. Anyone who met Gary can attest to his professionalism, sincerity and caring nature. He always had the best of intentions for everyone and an unmatched excitement for his work. He supported his clients and colleagues completely and unfailingly with a type of fervor unique to only him. Many of his clients and colleagues considered him a great friend, and he has had a profound impact on all those around him.

Gary graduated from Syracuse University in 1973 with a degree in Environmental Engineering. He was a licensed professional engineer in more than 25 states and testified as an expert witness in numerous federal court cases that have received national media attention. Gary founded RT in 1988 and was the centerpiece of the organization he built for more than 30 years. He mentored many and nurtured the career growth of numerous employees over the years, many of whom still remain at RT to this day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary's family. They have advised that services will be private and have asked that donations be made to a charity of the donor's choice in Gary's memory.

We at RT are deeply grateful for his friendship and mentorship and are committed to continuing Gary's legacy. RT is currently considering ways to appropriately honor Gary's professional legacy, and additional details will follow.
