This is so sad to see...Brian and I go way back. We have so much in common. We worked together at INCO Shebandowan. We both did the same job (Sandfill Leadhand), we are both the same age, we got married on the same day July 15/78 (we laughed about that because we couldnt be at each other's wedding, cuz we had our own to go to). We remained friends after INCO. We helped them move into their new house on College St. They would come and visit us at our house in the country and bring their two big dogs with them, as we had lots of room for the dogs to run. Then as we set off to raise our families, our contacts lessened , but we would run into each other on occaision and we would stand and chat forever. Two ships passing in the night, but I've always remembered the time we did share together. I just wanted to share this with you. Reading about Brian today, I stopped and reminisced and it brought a smile to my face thinking about our time together. Brian was a great guy...my condolences to the family...from an old friend
