Not sure what to say?

It's hard to believe a whole year has gone by since Brian left all of us. There have been countless times his jokes have popped up for us and my husband Tony and I talk about him (and laugh…) so often. He is so missed! To his wonderful family we want to let you know we cherish every single memory of a great man. We wish peace for you. We miss you Brian - every day.

Brian and I lost touch over the years, but I will always remember my childhood pal from Fell Avenue and the adventures we had as best friends.

Sorry to hear that Brian has passed away.

I'll always remember how he was able to make you feel that you were his friend and how he always had a joke to brighten you day.

With Brian oil and water did mix

My condolences to the family and friends of Brian. I sailed with Brian on the Weathership CCCS Quadra back in 1966. I have nothing but great memories that brings a smile to my face. As I reflect back to "those days" at Ocean Station Papa onboard the Quadra with Brian. Rest in peace shipmate. Your were the best.

Having known you, made me a better man. We have shared so much together...laughed so much and worked hard together...Debbie and I will always have you in our hearts for all the joy and honest conversations we shared. You are someone we were so grateful to know and so sad you had to go. You will always be with us...forever and always.

Murray Dent - love ya pal

When I think of Brian or hear his name, I think back to the days when I would look across the counter at the dispatch office at Kingcome and I see his smile and hear his laugh. The gloomiest of days were always a little brighter when I was around Brian.

With Brian, there always felt like an atmosphere of family. He made me feel like I was part of the Kingcome family. I've known him since 1988, but it seems like it's been a lifetime.

My condolences to the family and all who share...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
