So sad to hear of Brian's sudden passing. He taught my daughter at Wakefield School & was the nicest person. Always remembered us & said hello in the street. We will remember him for his kindness.

My deepest condolences in the loss of Brian. My parents and I used to see Brian often in the old days and he was a close mate of my Uncles. Have not seen him in recent years but no doubt he never changed. He was an awesome guy and well respected where ever he went. He was special to all who knew him.
Your are all in my thoughts.
