Brian and I first met in January 1940. We became lifelong friends. Brian and his family welcomed me to Victoria and contributed greatly to what became our memorable teenage years. Among my many memories of Brian is
- going to dancing school organized by his Mother on Saturday nights both wearing St Michaels short pants.
- Driving to the Mexican border in 1946 in an old (1922) Hup mobile, having a flat every 100 miles and getting involved ln three accidents(poor brakes} yet returning home safely,
- During the eighties spending many weekends cutting down trees together at the Farm near Merville under Sarah’s direction while Sarah and Barbara worked on the grounds.
During our working years we lived in different countries and provinces, but we always kept in touch. Brian was a steadfast friend. Always a gentleman, honest, with a great sense of humor and very much a devoted Canadian. Our condolences to Sarah and the family. We all will miss him.
