Brian lived his life with joy and vitality. He had a profound love for his family; ever ready to give advice or a helping hand. And far too often the practical joker. Yes, far too often. I liken him to the proud and might oak tree; steadfast and unyielding. Firmly and solidly planted in his beliefs. And when in the last autumn of his years, so desperately tired, he reluctantly shed the heavy burden of his magnificent coat. Brilliant, sad leaves falling softly, as though in slow motion, each one taking taking its final bow and its own statement for the countless good things he stood for in life. A beautifully hued blanket at his feet. That mighty oak still stands tall and proud. It might look a bit different now, but it can, and always will, cast the shadow of his spirited memory on a sunny day. I can't help but wonder which sports car he chose for his final ride home. What a ride that must have been. In time, when we've all taken that same road home, our whole family will meet for the best ever family reunion. Heaven will be rocking, never to be the same. Sis

Brian ~ you were my big brother, always there, and willing to help. You taught me how to ride a bicycle, drive a car, ride a motor bike and a Triumph motorcycle. Your love was genuine, always putting family first. Your guidance and support was never taken for granted. You'll be deeply missed....until we meet again.
