It is with heavy hearts that we share this tribute to our dear friend and valued coworker of many years. Briscoe passed away on July 14, 2021 after valiantly fighting cancer for some time.
Briscoe started at Pare on April 2, 2002. He was a Professional Wetland Scientist with 33 years of experience applying environmental science to the planning, design, permitting, and implementation of civil engineering, ecological restoration, and land development projects in Southern New England.
Over his career, Briscoe participated in hundreds of projects involving environmental planning, wetland delineation, and permitting and encouraged his team to take advantage of the opportunities to grow personally and technically through project experience. Briscoe was instrumental to Pare’s success on the Narragansett Bay Commission’s (NBC) Phase III CSO Program by strategizing and leading the permitting efforts for the project. Briscoe led Pare in helping NBC obtain Master Plan approval from both the RI Coastal Resources Management Council and the RI Department of Environmental Management, which will streamline the permitting of all projects in the Program for years to come. In addition, Briscoe recently led the permitting efforts for several large projects including the New England Revolution Soccer Training Center in Foxboro, the I-95 Northbound Viaduct in Providence, and the Hammett’s Wharf Hotel in Newport.

He was a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sedimentation Control, a RI Certified Invasive Species Manager, and was an active member in a number of professional and civic organizations such as the Society of Wetland Scientists, and both the Rhode Island and Massachusetts Associations of Wetland Scientists. He also served on the Cumberland Conservation Commission for many years. In addition to his career at Pare, Briscoe volunteered alongside his wife as a coach for the RI Special Olympics Woonsocket Wildcats for more than 25 years. Briscoe was also an avid photographer, sailor, kayaker, and gardener.

Along with the countless projects Briscoe managed in his years at Pare, his legacy includes Pare’s Natural Resources group itself. Briscoe served as a mentor to each of them, instilling not only his extensive knowledge of all things wetlands, but more importantly, his tenacity. Briscoe always marched forward no matter the obstacle, in both his professional and personal life. For that – and so much more – he is an inspiration to us all.
In our lives, there have been few people as special as Briscoe. He was someone that we felt deeply connected to, and even though he is gone now, we feel his presence throughout our day.
