Words can't express the shock I encountered when I was checking my computer under obituries and saw that Brian had Passed away.Our deepest sympathy to all of your family. Lana and Cory also send their thoughts and prayers to all. You and Brian were a big part in our lives and helped me out when Gary passed away. Brian was always their when we needed him. Your family was a big part in our lives when we lived at the Beach. Wished I would have found out sooner. The only thing I can say is to just take one day at a time and little by little it gets easier.

To All Of Brians Family
Brain will surely be missed,I always looked forward to his visits to the Big 10-4 and then Crystal Palace. I felt so honored that any time one of his grandkids was born or walked he always took the time to talk about it to me. And always asked how my grandkids were. He was a special person and surely will be missed.

Judy, Rachael & Kelly.
How life can change in a blink of the eye.
I can't express in words the sorrow I feel.

Friends like Brian are rare,
and I was blessed to be able to count him as the best.
There are so many qualities that Brian had, they are far too numerous to recount.
His love for his family and the unbelievable closeness you shared.
His smile, compassion, kindness and gentle being will be sadly missed by all.

Brian excelled in everything he did & lived life to the fullest.
He was one big happy guy.

May your beautiful memories give you strength at this difficult time.
Love, Dennis

Brian,

Even though we only got to see you once or twice a year, you will surely be missed. You always had a smile, and were always ready to make people smile and laugh. Our once a year trip to Edmonton to race won't be the same this July, but we will certainly be thinking about you. You have a lot to be proud of; A beautiful family, your wonderful children, and their children. I can't help but wonder what you would say if you were able to stand up in front of the 300+ loved ones who will be sharing your memories on Wednesday. Whatever it is, it would be certain to get a chuckle from your audience. Rest in peace my friend.

All my love,

Chad Barclay

As we remember Brian someone refered to him as a gentlemans genleman. I can't say it any better than that. He was a great man who always had time for anyone. He was such an influence in my life and is just plain unforgetable. My prayers go out to Judy, Kelly, Rachel, their families and to all those who will miss this truly great man.
