TITTLEY, Brian (John Patrick Brian Tittley), age 70, passed away on March 27, 2020 at the QEII Hospital, Halifax, NS, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Montreal, Brian eventually moved to Ontario where in 1973 he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lakehead University. He moved to Halifax, NS from Ontario in 1978 to attend NSCAD which lead to him working at Dalhousie University in the Dental School as a photographer. In 1990 Brian received a diploma in Remote Sensing from the College of Geographic Sciences (COGS), Lawrencetown, Annapolis County, NS. He then followed an exciting opportunity that took him to Italy to work for the European Space Agency (on contract with Serco Group) as an Earth Observation Specialist/Engineer. While living in the quaint Italian village of Frascati, near Rome, he immersed himself in the Italian culture by learning to speak Italian and trying to cook authentic Italian foods. He enjoyed going to the local pub to watch soccer with his mates. He travelled for business extensively throughout Europe. A work transfer in 2014 moved Brian to the UK where he lived in the town of Wantage, Oxfordshire, UK. He began a well earned retirement when his contract ended on May 31, 2019. He then returned to Halifax, NS where he lived for a few months until his passing. Huge thanks to the amazing staff at the QEII Hospital 8.2. Brian will be missed by many friends, near and far, including the Atlantic Vintage Motorcycle Society (AVMS). A private burial was held at Fairview Cemetery on April 20, 2020. A celebration of life service for Brian will be held at a later date.

I remember Brian from his Dalhousie days, where he was the photographer for our union newsletter committee. A highlight – going to the Forrest Building roof to take a “mod” picture of the committee, with the Halifax skyline in the background. He was a one-of-a-kind person.
Our union group had a zoom meeting this evening triggered by Brian’s passing. Fond stories and remembrances were shared.
We miss you, Brian!
