Very sorry to just read about Brian’s passing. I only knew Brian and the other members of his family when I was young and living across the road from them in Renous. Brian was 4 years older than me. He took me and his brother, Bernard, to school on our first day. A one room school house across the river. I remember Brian as being a very kind person. Great family. Rest In Peace Brian.
