It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Brian Palmer, peacefully, with his family at his side in Alliston, Ontario on April 23, 2025. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth (Liz), daughters Carole (Paul) and Fiona (Paul), five grandchildren Andrew (Victoria), Oliva (Kevin), Jonathan (Sidney), Hilary and Lindsay; and his brother Douglas (Rosemary) and nieces and nephews in Scotland. Predeceased by parents he will be fondly remembered by friends around the world.
Brian was born, raised and educated in Scotland. After graduating with a Mining Engineering degree, he had a successful career in three countries: Scotland, Zambia and Canada (Elliot Lake and Saskatoon). Brian and Liz retired to the Briar Hill community in Alliston, ON.
For many years Brian was a dedicated Rotarian in Elliot Lake (Paul Harris, fellow), Saskatoon and Alliston, and member of the PROBIS club in Alliston. He had a sharp sense of humour, quick wit and enjoyed reading history, playing Sudoku, and tracing his genealogy. Living on a golf course in Alliston was the perfect place for him to play the game and enjoy life.
A celebration of his life will be held at Drury Funeral Centre 519 Victoria St. E., Alliston on Sunday, May 4, 2025 from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. with sharing of remembrances at 2 p.m.
