It has been a privilege knowing you Brian. You were so wise. I loved when you watched the ballet on TV, and it didnt matter if you had seen it before. Your love for your family did not go unnoticed. May you rest in peace. Much love.

Thankyou for being my dad....Thankyou for always loving me....see you on mersea beach each time we walk the dog. 💙

Emma and Duncan.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Brian. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
