Though I never got a chance to meet with you, I heard and read so many beautiful and inspiring things about you sir... Thank you and keep resting sweetly Sir.

Words cannot express how dearly I miss this loving father, mentor and leader

Gentle, quiet, humble, hardworking, lover of family- you are surely missed sir!

Continue to rest in perfect peace Dr Carew!!!

Always remembered! A decade on and your impact still resonates. We miss you.

Carew please, here's is hoping that you're resting well with Angels all around you! I should share this memorial with other GCI Old Boys today. E pele!

Ten years today! Your memories are treasured. Continue to rest in peace Dr. Carew.

My Dearest Uncle, may your soul continue to rest in peace.
You are greatly missed

May your soul continue to rest in peace dear Dr Carew!!!

Carew please, I trust that you're sleeping well. It seems as if more and more of us are crossing over to join you so save a spot for, your old roommate. E pele!

Such an awesome and full life. I pray the God that helped you disrupt Nigeria with technology will help Afrilearn transform education in Africa though technology. You're greatly missed but your legacy certainly lives on!

In my first course in Philosophy in the Fall of 1966, while I was Dr. Burian Carew's roommate at Cornell University, I read Plato's famous quote, "an Unexamined Life is not worth living." Socrates, who wrote nothing down, probably taught Plato that saying! On this memorial website for Burian, his examined life remains on full display, thanks to the glowing testimonials of those whose lives he touched magnanimously! May his soul continue to rest serenely in the abode of our Lord, Amen!

You will forever be missed dear friend and mentor.

Continue to rest in peace.

Unforgettable. Irreplaceable....Rest on peacefully Dear Dr Carew. Miss you so much.

Great memories. Continue to rest in eternal peace.

Dr Carew
May your soul continue to rest in peace!!!

It's well with the righteous

I knew Burian only for a short while during my brief stay in Nigeria through his company, however, he made such a lifelong impression upon me. His calm and peaceful demeanor, his intelligence and curiosity , his morals and concern for fellow humans were truly endearing. I am sad that this world has lost this wonderful soul but know that people, like myself, have benefited from meeting him in so many ways. I wish peace to his family and remind that we meet those we love again. God Willing.

A tribute to a man of creative mind with super creative abilities. A detribalized Nigerian. I thank God for your indelible landmarks and investment in the ICT industry that have changed lives.

May your gentle soul continue to rest in peace Dr Carew ❤️❤️

Hey Uncle B, you are resting in His bosom, no doubt. You are never forgotten, you are always here in my heart. May God grant your family the fortitude to bear your departure. Keep resting, sir.

Thanks be to God for your family and legacy. Continue to sleep in heveanly peace. Always remembered.

My dear and beloved uncle, you will surely be forever missed.
If it's true that the spirit of the dead lives among the living, make sure you watch over your siblings that you left behind.
Continue to rest on in peace....

Remembering "My Big Oga" Forever in my heart. You are a Champ forever

Your legacy lives on. May your soul continue to rest in peace.

Who would have guessed that our paths in this life-time would forever spit after GCI? But then, we part to me again either in this life or in another re-birth. Meanwhile, rest securely in the Consciousness of Divine.

Dr Carew was a great man, lived a fruitful life. His true test of his leadership lies in his succession. His greatest gift of life was spent for something that outlast. He will be remembered for good.

It's been 3 years now since Dr. Carew passed. I could still remember how I felt (shaken and saddened) when I got the news. About a week later, I had a dream. In that dream, I attended a concert. As I walked in I was surprised to see Dr Carew on stage delivering a rendition. At the end of his performance people were on their feet cheering. I wanted to walk up to him and greet him but he took the other side of the stage. I could see him smiling as he left the venue. I ran out but did n't see him. I woke and realized it was not just an ordinary dream. It was a message to me that he is in a 'good place'. I had so much peace afterwards. It is difficult not to remember those who touched our lives in no small ways. It is an honour to them when we express it. What more can I say?. May his soul continue to Rest in Peace.

Dear friend and mentor, news of your passage is still like a dream. I miss your roaring infectious laughter. Though you are not physically here, but you will indeed be forever missed. Continue to rest in peace.

He was a man blessed with wisdom. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
Writing a tribute about Dr. Carew is good, but we should live his legacy.
One great stuff I got from him is "Flexibility in Mgmt as a tool to Greatness"

This is three years you left this world to a great beyond. The great memory of you will ever continue to stay with every one you have touched his or her life by your good works. Thus, a man will continue to live even thou he dies, when his great and good works he did when he was life continues to live in the memories of those he left behind. We shall continue to appreciate your wisdom, good works here on earth and thus emulate and live by them. Peace be with you.

Visions don't die, and so is Dr. Carew. Dr. Carew's vision have put so many of us on perpetual victory for life:Through his vision many have discovered God's deposit in themselves and found their life destiny. Dr. Burian was an uncommon reputable achiever, a unifier and detribalized Nigerian. Not how long one lived that matters, but the impact one made in lifting others.

Time flies ...but your values remain timeless...

Rest on, Dr. Carew....

What a great opportunity to have worked with a GREAT MIND! I can still remember great things you shared with me.

R.I.P

The memory of your good soul, good heart and love to all will always live in me. Continue to rest in peace my beloved Uncle and mentor.

"You will forever be remembered! Rest in peace"

Dr Carew/Uncle B. never wanted to be celebrated, praised or honoured. He never wanted to be recognized by tribe and did not tolerate tribalism. He promoted a single language (English) of communication. He wanted everyone to be heard and understood. He goes out to look for people and have a chat with them. He puts the interest of the company and staff first. A great blessing to know him. He will always be remembered by what he did. Sleep on Dr. Carew till resurrection morning Amen!

A man with a vision, he left legacies that still impact on the living. He lives with us forever....gone too soon.

He was a GREAT LEADER. Forever in my heart

Today as always I remember my role model, mentor & 'father' with fond memories. Dr. Carew had passion for people development. His gifts to staff at Telnet were books, books and more books (he added some chocolates). Twice every year, he travelled to Canada and on return to Nigeria on each trip, handed over a bag containing books to me for the Company Library. He would then follow up to know who was reading what book. Dr Carew also spent time with staff discussing what they learnt and encouraged knowledge sharing. Many ex-Telnet staff would identify with the reading culture. To God be the glory for the life in Dr Carew’s years. He was a blessing indeed. Also, thanking God for keeping every member of his family and granting them comfort and courage over the past year. Dr. Carew lives on.

Just like yesterday. The pain lingers but the joy that you live on in every life you touched surpasses it all. RIP Great man!

My brief meeting with this great man changed my life and inspired vision in me. very honest and sincere and focused leader. I must say you are thoughtfully remembered this day.#Tim Chima

Carew please, unspoken, you showed me that self-mastery is necessary to move forward boldly to pursue ones agenda; to demonstrate the courage of ones conviction. Burian, now and then I check on Sue; the news is good on the home front. Sleep well!

Great man!

Like a comet blazing across the evening sky...gone too soon
Like a rainbow fading in a twinkle of an eye...gone too soon
Like a castle built upon a sandy beach...gone too soon
Like a perfect flower withers in the sun....gone too soon
Shining, sparkling, smiling down on us all...gone too soon

Like a candle in the wind, shining for all....gone too soon
Like the sun sets in the evenings....gone too soon
Like the loose of warmth on a breezing night...gone too soon
Grinning, cheering and raising his fist in victory...gone too soon

Gone too soon.

He lives on in us all. RIP DR!

“Carew please,” as it was customary to address ones senior at Government College Ibadan in 1962 when I was in the Lower Sixth Form and he was in “Upper Six.” We were both in Swanston House and we both studied “maths, maths, physics.” He treated me as well as any of my blood brothers, putting an exclamation mark on things when he asked me to be his roommate at Cornell University in 1966/7. In 1967, he invited me to his class in Quantum Mechanics taught by a new Nobel Laureate in physics, Professor Hans Bethe. Since our days in Ithaca, New York, we have been most at ease in each other’s company; whenever I visited Lagos, he would have me driven to Ibadan to spend some time with him at the Green Springs hotel. One can imagine how incredulous and devastated I was when I learnt he died; may his soul find sweet repose with the Lord!

Dr. Burian Carew was a visionary; he founded Telnet Nigeria Limited, along with his trusted business partner, Dr. (Mrs.) Nadu Denloye. Telnet and other members of its Group of Companies like ipNX and Interswitch took on Dr. Carew’s standards of excellence and professionalism. They remain on the vanguard of the telecommunication industry in Nigeria. In 1993, he and Dr. Nadu Denloye requested that the United Nations Development Program loan me to Telnet under the “Transfer Of Knowledge Through Expatriate Nationals,” TOKTEN, program. I observed that he extended his generosity, kindness and fairness to all his associates at Telnet. The technical skills of his engineers and computer scientists were world class; he motivated and mentored them. Several of them were sent abroad, particularly to the US to acquire cutting-edge skills.

Dr. Carew was a family man extraordinaire. From time to time, he would call me to say that he was in Canada to visit his wife, Suzanne, and their three children, Quinton, Vanessa and Julia. He would tell me about the progress of the twins and their sibling in college and the aspirations of one of them to become a CPA-level accountant. May the Almighty comfort and console his survivors and grant them lifelong succor, Amen!

Time is a special thing to all men,but not all men are special to time.Your time on earth has been a time of impactation and great torch to various destinies.I wish more life could be imparted by other leaders.

As day comes and night falls, for the rest of our days we'll miss you...So humble,so exceptional...What a rare gem you were DR.
Thank God I was oppotuned to have met you.

Dr. my few privileged encounters with you left me with positive impact of your good nature. So difficult to think of you in the past. You are greatly missed. Rest in peace.

The little time i spent working with you reminds me that life is too short hence the need to impact positively in as many lives we can.Your gentle, humble, and disciplined nature is one to emulate, you will be forever remembered.A rare gem! has departed. A man of Integrity you were,Adieu Dr Carew!

Dr. I never had the opportunity to meet you in person, but I am proud to say I am a privilege beneficiary of your dream, Sir, thank you for dreaming.
