A gentle giant - a humble soul. Brian, you came to my aid many times when you lived on the farm, and were a true friend. I have never forgotten the time you showed up at our door with a big bag of groceries, and asked if I would cook you breakfast. In the warmth of your company, never since has cooking breakfast brought me such joy - you and I and Ron did feast! I have missed your laugh, dear friend, but hear it still! Till we meet again... ~ Karen


Rest in Peace, Brian...Thank you for your kindness. You were there for us when no one else was. ~ Ron Bardwell


I am saddened to learn of Brian's passing. Brian was always a good hearted man that very seldom became angry; he would tell me I'm a lover not a fighter. His mom made the best lunches and he would share with me in school. I have a few old photos and lots of memories from when we were kids on his dad's farm that'll keep me smiling and to remember them by. My condolences to his family, friends and everyone who was fortunate to have Brian in their lives. Al. ~ Al Wilson
