Although Brian’s passing deeply saddens us all, he had such a happy and successful life in which he achieved so much. An extremely hard working family man, who made it very clear of how notably proud he was of Judy, Steven, Rachael, Sharon and all 7 of his grandchildren. Personally I have many fond memories of staying at Brian and Judy’s over the years, including the unforgettable annual Boxing Day family gathering, around forty adults and children in one house seems absolutely crazy now. But somehow Brian and Judy successfully hosted, managed and controlled this ritual that can only be described as structured chaos. Obviously Brians very distinctive thunderous voice played a big part in keeping the children in line and on occasion the adults too. We do feel honoured to have been a small part of Brian’s life and will miss him for his veracious and upstanding attitude to life. A great man with a big heart, RIP Brian, you will not be forgotten.

Love Raymond, Nula, Louise and Robert.
