I started at Silverwood Dairy with Brian in 1974, we were in home service. Many great , memorable, laughable times. He always had a dry, great sense of humour and was a thoughtful person and a hoot to be around.RIP my friend.

Brian:
Humorous, unique and fair. A new day meant a new story. Always willing to honestly share his thoughts and opinion.
Brian used humour to attract an audience and hide his loneliness. A very efficient Island Farms milkman and later as a dedicated dairy worker.
He often burst into song during the day when there wasn't too much sing about.
Gone for now ... but not forgotten.

I knew Brian back in the early 70's when he was in the band Sugarcane. Fantastic singe! Always thought their album should have gone to #1!! He was in my wedding as an attendant in 1975 and sang many years later at my Mom's 75th birthday party. He took me under his wing a bit when I was a single Mom and I appreciated his friendship. I am shocked to hear of Brian's passing. My thoughts are with his family and friends....Heather Woods
