Katie. I’m sorry to hear about Brian. I just read it in the paper.
Dear Katie and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss of Brian. I think the loving eulogies, given at his celebration of life service, were a testimony of how so many people experienced Brian’s life well lived. I hope those words and the knowledge of his love, will giveYou comfort in the days ahead.
With Loving Sympathy,
Cousins, Ingrid and Chuck
Although I have not been in contact for a lot of years I will always remember the cute little boy from the Fountain Store!I know how close Brian was to sister Fran and for that I am so deeply grateful. Deepest sympathy to the Fountain Family and to Katie and Children.
My sincere condolences to Katie and family. I spent some time with Katie & Brian whole I lived in SA and always felt at home with them. Two very wonderful people. No more suffering for Brian and may he be dancing in the sky with the angels. Take care dear Jatie and no I’m just a phone call away.
Love Always
Gaby
Brian and I spent many a hour at the nearest Legion. He did most of the buying, a great and wonderful friend, always there when I needed any help. My condolences for all the pain and suffering you had to bear. Now Rest In Peace, my friend. I will never forget you and and your witty sense of humour, also your grand love of music.
My thoughts and sympathy to Katie for her unwavering love and care of Brian
With kind regards. Walt and Moyreen

Truly like Brother and Sister. On behalf of Your Cousins Ken, Barb, Sheila, Diane, Cindy and
Families, we send our Sympathies and Blessings to you all. I ( Sheila ) would like to Dedicate
This Poem, in hopes that it COULD BE READ at Brian’s “ Celebration Of Life “ on Dec 9th.
It has “ True Meaning for Me “, and I hope it will Enlighten All of You as well.
LIFE IS BUT A STOPPING PLACE,
A PAUSE IN WHAT’S TO BE,
A RESTING PLACE ALONG THE ROAD
TO SWEET ETERNITY.
WE ALL HAVE DIFFERENT JOURNEYS,
DIFFERENT PATHS ALONG THE WAY,
WE ALL WERE MEANT TO LEARN SOMETHINGS,
BUT NEVER MEANT TO STAY…
OUR DESTINATION IS A PLACE
FAR GREATER THAN WE KNOW,
FOR SOME, THE JOURNEY’S QUICKER,
FOR SOME THE JOURNEY’S SLOW.
AND WHEN THE JOURNEY FINALLY ENDS,
WE’LL CLAIM A GREAT REWARD
AND FIND AN EVERLASTING PEACE,
TOGETHER WITH THE LORD.
Brian was a lifelong friend who was always there to help us and anyone who needed a hand. He will be always in our hearts. Our prayers go out to Katie and his children.
With love and remembrance, I will miss Brian’s sense of humor and forever cherish the time I got to know Brian. My thoughts and prayers are with Katie during this difficult time.
