He fought valiantly every step of the way and continued to battle until his last breath. He passed away at home surrounded by his loving family.

Brian is survived by his wife of 26 years, Sherri, his daughter, Robin, and his son, Brad. He is also survived by his sister, Barbara, and brother, Donald along with his nephew, Jacob, and niece, Lilah.

Brian graduated from New Rochelle High School in New York. Rather than moving away, he decided to remain close to his family and attend Adelphi University where he graduated Cum Laude from their Pre-Med program. He then decided to attend Yale Medical School; he would later go on to become board-certified in both pediatrics and ophthalmology. He paused his medical training during the Vietnam War to enlist in the Public Health Service, where he would eventually earn the rank of Commander in the Coast Guard. Brian has been on staff at a multitude of hospitals; his experience includes being the Director of Pediatric Ophthalmology at: Eastern State School and Hospital, Woodhaven School and Hospital, Temple University School of Medicine, and Thomas Jefferson University School of Medicine. He was a consultant in pediatrics and member of the Ophthalmologic Staff at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and Montgomery Hospital & Sacred Heart Hospitals. He was the Chief of Pediatric Ophthalmology at Albert Einstein Hospital for nearly a decade. He worked as courtesy staff at Jeans Hospital, Einstein Hospital, and Warminster Hospital.

Brian has numerous published works accredited to his name; amongst them is his pioneering research in diagnosing fetal alcohol syndrome.

He loved seeing patients in his office, but he had a true passion for the operating room. Amongst his colleagues, Dr. Altman is remembered for being a world-class diagnostician and surgeon.

Brian, when he moved to South Jersey, operated out of offices in Rio Grande, Cape May Courthouse, and Ocean City. When he was not working, he loved spending time with his children (“Kingie and Queenie”), going out fishing on his boat (aptly named, “The Eye Dock,”) or spending time with “Sher.” When he was younger, he spawned a fascination of numismatics and continued to cultivate that passion late into his life.
