As Brian’s “kid” sister as he used to refer to me as, my memories range from staying in his mobile home, being fascinated by the weird skull decorations on his coffee table arranged small to large of course, the motorcycle stored in what should be a dining room, being excited to see his van ‘The Blue Goose’ parked in our driveway when he was home for Christmas, trips to the states to get “smokes”, to more recent of drinking ice coffee -no ice , he ate tofu and that he took an Uber! Many trips with my parents always in July (Rolly was a creature of habit) to wherever Brian happened to being working and fish were biting. I was confused how my mother was his mother but it was definitely apparentl as she made all his favourites at Christmas-candy cane cookies, Christmas cake and Olga’s version of cheesecake all untouchable because it was for Brian. He even took forever to unwrap gifts, ulter frustrating for a little sister, it’s a present open it!! Anyone that took part today will agree it was a terrific send off I will miss my big brother Brain(I always had trouble with spelling the a i thing)! So unlike him to do anything fast & took me off guard, I will miss you. Say hi to my mum and dad for me, bye for now.

It was sad news to hear of Brian's passing but he's in good company with Olga and Roland as well his Uncles Clem & Abe and Aunt Sophie. Brian was a unique soul. He was independent and enjoyed his solitude and was happy just being. My fondest memories of Brian were when we played 6 handed euchre out at Clem & Sophie's out on the Ruscom River. We would play for 10 hours at a time in the garage and every hand was just as exciting as the last. Brian had one trait that was a little frustrating and that he operated about 1/4 speed of everyone else. Even if there was only the one obvious card to play he was still slow. Trying to get Brian to move any faster than slow was like pushing on a string and since we needed a 6th player we had to tolerate it. One year back when Brian lived up in Kirkland lake we all drove up to do some fishing and visit for a few days. The fishing wasn't great but the time spent together was. Brian had an interesting mealtime habit, he would get his plate of food, cut everything up into small pieces, mix it all together and move it to one half of is plate and slide small bits over and eat it. We would finish eating in about 15 minutes and Brian would still be sitting there pecking away at his food for batter than half an hour. He always had to wash his own plate as everything was cleaned up by that time. The other thing that was special about Brian was that he liked warm beer, even if the fridge was close by. I never really understood that but hey you like what you like and that's it. Funny how you remember things like that but that's what I remember about him, all good and uniquely funny.. He's in a good place now and that's all that matters. Farewell to my cousin.
