Two lives cut short
By Aviva L. Brandt
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Peter Giles and
Russell Brisendine died dose to the
work they both loved, in an office
overlooking their small Lake Union
shipyard and the city skyline.
.Giles, 27, fell in love with the
sea as a boy, working summers on
his uncles’ fishing boats from the
age of 12 as they fished salmon in
Alaska. He had been left in charge
of the Northlake Shipyard north/
of downtown while his uncles,
owners Peter and Richard Kelly
Jr., were on vacation.
Brisendine, 43, also had a pas
sion for the sea. He joined the Navy
right after graduating from high
school in Granite Falls, Minn. After
studying industrial technology at
Minnesota’s Bemidji State Univer
sity, he worked in the fishing in
dustry in Alaska before settling in
north suburban Lynnwood.
Both were gunned down
Wednesday as they drank coffee to
gether in a back office. Two men
with them were shot as well. They
remained hospitalized Thursday,
both in satisfactory condition. Their
names have not been released.
Richard Kelly Sr., Giles’ 82-year
old grandfather, was still shocked
Thursday that anyone would harm
his beloved grandson. He was
mystified as to why anyone
would target the two-berth, two
crane shipyard at the north end of
Lake Union.
“The shipyard is just a plain ol’
shipyard. There’s a door and any
one can walk in. The little office
Peter was in was kind of in the
back of the building. [The gun
man] apparently walked back
there, opened the door and just
started shooting,” Kelly said.
Giles joined Northlake Ship
yard four years ago after graduat
ing from the University of Illinois
with a degree in business admin
istration, keeping the books and
working his way up to general
manager, Kelly said.
“He was an outstanding—I can’t
say enough about the kid. He was
just one in a million,” Kelly said.
Brisendine was a marine engi
neer who worked on boats’ elec
trical systems. He and his wife,
Naomi, were raising four sons,
two of them teen-agers and two
younger, rela’tives said.
Marshall Brisendine of North
Bend said he learned his cousin
had been shot from a radio news
cast. It triggered eerie memories
from 1982, when he learned of an
other cousin’s death on the radio, in
a case involving a drunken driver.
“They mispronounced the
name both times — the same way.
I called KIRO to correct the
name,” he said — to “bri-zen
DINE,” not “bri-zen-DEEN. I said
I’m not going to put up with that
this time. I know it’s silly, but... ’
An electrician by training, Russ
Brisendine was a supervisor at the
shipyard and a longtime right-hand
man to its osiers, friends said.
“He was probably the top man
at the shipyard as far as taking
care of problems,” Taylor Pen
nock, a machinist at a Ballard
shipyard who had worked with
Brisendine in the past, told The
Seattle Times.
“When he returned from a trip
at sea, Brisendine would often
bring back shrimp and fish to
share with the neighborhood,
Cliff McMullen, who lives across
the street from the family home,
told the Times.
“He was just a great guy. If you
needed a hand or something, he
was out there working at the boat
yard and all ... so he was pretty
handy,” McMullen said.
Peter and Richard Kelly Jr. were
cutting short their separate vaca
tions, and Giles’ parents, George
and Kathryn Giles, were flying in
from their home in Libertyville,
111., on Thursday to help plan their
son’s funeral service, Richard Kel
ly Sr. said. He said Giles also had
an older brother, Craig, and a
younger sister, Monica.
Brisendine’s survivors include
his wife and sons; his parents; a
brother, Steven; and a sister,
Michelle Foss.
