Dear Lesley, I was really saddened to learn of Brian's passing. As a teenager, Brian and his family lived across the road from my family in Takapuna. I (and my brother Richard) saw Brian on a daily basis for many years and he was always great fun to be with, warm hearted and enthusiastic. I'm sure he will be sadly missed.

I offer my deepest sympathy to you and your family,

Lesley, Stuart, Libby and all the family, we were very saddened to hear of the loss of such a 'big' man. Brian had such life and presence and will be remembered always. We hold you in our hearts during this time. Thinking of you all . Colleen & David Santilli (Sydney, Australia)

Lesley, Stuart, Libby and family,
I can't begin to imagine the loss you all must be feeling at this sad time. It was such a shock to learn of Brian's passing.
I will always remember Brian as a wonderful boss at Thomas Cook. He was a gentleman in the true sense of the word and a man who patently loved his wife and family.
Unfortunately I was unable to make it to Blenheim on Wednesday, but my thoughts and prayers were with you all at that time.
Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Brian was one of those bosses you never forget, larger than life and a straight shooter. Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Brian, it was an honor to work with you and to be your friend. I think of you and Lesley often, yet regretably we haven't spoken much during the last couple of years. I shall always remember you as vibrant and full of life. My heart and thoughts are with Lesley, Libby, Stuart and family
