I remember Brian at school and church..such a gentle boy. I lost track after graduating and am so sorry to hear of his passing. Condolences to his family.

I remember Brian and his family with great fondness, from our years at Duncan United Church. Our Dad was Rev. Bernie Knipe, 1960-67. I remember the wonderful music, their friendly smiles, seeing Mr. Carter drive the BIG machines on the streets, and especially the Church Fun Fairs at their home! They were gracious and friendly. Brian is remembered by our family. Peggy Knipe Gish, Qualicum Beach.

I knew Brian very well in the 1960's as a fine member of our community, and he clearly continued that legacy. He will be missed.
