To Kelvin, Sandy & family in Brisbane and the Cotter Family in New Zealand, I was so very saddened to hear of the unexpected passing of your dear Dad Brian. My deepest sympathies to all your family at this very sad and harrowing time. I had the pleasure of meeting Brian only briefly for the first time in 2019 in Cannon Hill Brisbane and very much enjoyed our brief encounter, especially his very quick wit, banter and jesting. He had a great zest for life and had a wonderful and natural way about him with an endearing and infectious smile. May his gentle soul rest in peace.
