I met Brain many decades ago when he was driving a hotrod Chevy. I thought at the time you counldn't find a nicer person. As kind a person as I've known, he'd raise the spirits of everyone he contacted. The world needs more like him – he'll be missed.

Very fond memories indeed of Brian and all of the family members. Kindness of heart, quickness of wit and loving spirit was obvious in his dealings with family. Prayers to the family as they deal with his loss in this system.

Brian had such a warm, loving spirit and a big heart. He always appeared to live life with such passion and heart. His love for Jehovah, his wife, his family was obvious. And I will never forget the times I had tagged along on your camping trips and how Brian would sing! That deep, soulful voice ... he sang on the drive and later around the campfire and we all couldn't help but join in - he was infectious. Ah yes, I remember one of the songs now ... "I've got to leave old Durham town ...."

I didn't know Brian that well but know one thing for sure. He was a good man because he made Vicky and her daughters very happy and made a wonderful family for them. From all the comments I have seen when Brian was sick showed how much he was loved and respected.
