Anne and family sorry for your loss
Brian was my room mate at the Northumberland Hills Hospital in 2020. We would talk about life, where we worked, what are interests were and talked about our families. We would do puzzles together, swap hospital food at lunch and dinner and joke with the nurses. We developed a great friendship. Thinking of your family during this time of sadness. Brian was a great man and a good friend.
Anne I am so sorry to hear about Brian. Jack and I did have some fun times with both of you Sincerely Chris

My Brotherly love sending my deepest sympathy to you and your family at this difficult time. From Star of the West Lodge 34. And from Texas USA with love. Fraternally, Randy.
Travis - I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father. I was not aware that he was battling Alzheimer’s. Because he was so far away, it is sad that you did not get to spend much time with him near the last few years. Our condolances from Bill and I.
It is so fitting that Brian’s photo is from his very happy days when you two were boat owners. That period opened a window into new friendships and shared activities. It is nice to focus on those lighter times when he would so enjoy the social activities with your mutual friends. Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your life’s partner.
Dear Ann Sorry for your loss, if I can be of any help, please call me.
We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Ann, Travis and the entire family. We hope your memories bring you comfort in this sad time. Our thoughts are with you. Scott and Diane
