So sorry to hear of Brian's passing. Remember the early years admiring Brian's talent in restoring cars in Mispec, then becoming one of his first clients as he opened his insurance business, and at the same time setting up his book keeping business and being his tax man, before passing the torch to Wayne. Lots of memories from those early years, and what a great guy. He surely will be missed by all.
Sincerely,
Bob & Sharon Dill

Jean, Greg & Natalie, Sad to hear of Brian's passing. Although I knew Brian for many years through the insurance industry it was late in my career I began to have regular contact with him as a Marketing Representative with Angus Miller Ltd. It certainly gave substance to the saying "keep the best till the last". He was always a gentleman and a pleasure to call on.

Dear Family:
I was shocked to read of Brian's passing. I met Brian in 1964 when I joined the Commercial Union Assurance Company and he was an auto insurance underwriter and was my supervisor. 6 months later he was promoted to field representative , a position he held for only 1 year. He did not like being away and gave up the corporate job which eventually led him to start his own firm. I took over his road work and had many fine comments from the brokers he called upon. May God bless you all as you grieve but do cherish the many wonderful memories of him being part of your lives .. Sincerely, Ken
