James “Brian” Swan – 64, Truro. Loving
son, brother, uncle and friend passed away on Tuesday, November 21,

complications due to intestinal surgery. Born in Windsor, Ontario,
Brian was the eldest son of the late Basil and Delena (Geldart)

Although born in Windsor, Ontario, Brian grew up in

Concordia University (Commerce Faculty), before moving to Calgary in
1976 where he worked for the next 22 years as a Landman for Norcen
