Brian - may you take with you on your next journey your inspiration, humor and wisdom and let's not forget your zinger whit. You will be missed. While you were here it was your job to get Dean and yourself to those crazy family Christmas/Easter Uky Dinners....a job well done. I leave in your good hands the organization for another fine event when we meet again. Love you and miss you.

Brian had a gift like no one else for matching the colour of faded paint. A few squirts of this, that, and the other thing and presto, Brian would have the shade matched perfectly. Brian was a generous person. Sorry to hear of his passing.
