Lindsay....our love and heartfelt sympathy to you and your close family, on the devastating loss you are experiencing.

Brian was a special man clever, talented, capablebut above all, a man strongly rooted in family.
Despite his rich, full professional life and his dedicated work within the community, Brian always had time and sincere interest in the wellbeing and destinies of the members of his wider family.
We, in the Corban family, will deeply miss his leadership, love and presence.

My best wishes to Lindsay and their children. Brian was a rare
man: intelligent, fearless, strong willed and direct; and to me he was a loyal and impeccable client for many years, with the good taste to follow my drawings to the line!

Dear Lindsay and family. Brian was such a huge part of both sides of the Corban family and a much treasured cousin to the Skinners. We did not get to catch up often enough and our last chat was let's have a coffee! Sadly due to his sudden illness it never happened! Until we meet again darling cousin. RIP . You will certainly be so missed. Jan Skinner.
