I met Brian back in London 2007. He was kind and a gent. He absolutely adored his sister. We had the worst pasta under the arch of London Bridge. We had a laugh! I came across his old email whilst clearing my inbox. Hoping to get in touch but sadly found his orbituary. I wish to send my prayers and love to his family if anyone is reading this.
