Brian was a community man, generous with his time especially when it came to what he loved.

He loved his children and grandchildren dearly, spending as much time with them as he could. Brian’s family was truly his pride and joy.
He was also a dedicated teacher. Brian started his teaching career with three fondly remembered years at North Minto. He then proudly returned to Sus where he thoroughly enjoyed 30 meaningful years at Sus Regional High School. There, he coached many sports teams and was proud to foster a love for agriculture in youth.
