I first met Brian during my apprenticeship at Ford and found him to be always friendly, helpful and quick with a story regarding his most recent fishing adventure. When my brother Ross married Wendy we were brought much closer and we have enjoyed many happy times with Brian, Val and extended family. We are so sad to lose Brian’s quick smile, friendly personality and love for his family. Deepest condolences to Val, Wendy and the family on the loss of a true gentleman.

We that is Kathy & I 1st met Brian & Val at Karumba (yesterday fishing) in 2005. We were lucky to camp behind them and I was very quickly appraised of the fishing opportunities by Brian. He imparted all his knowledge and was only too happy to share best spots & tackle tips. Over the years the friendships grew & many the night he would pop in to our camp for a port or 2. I know he will be sadly missed by his large family group. A true gentleman who will be missed by all.
Great & fond memories
RIP mate

What a well respected man Brian was. When I first joined the committee at Geelong Field & Game, Brian asked me to be the Branch treasurer probably because we both worked at Fords Geelong Plant. Brian was wonderful President & he will be greatly missed by so many. He was a champion Field & Game clay target shooter & sportsman. My sincere condolences to Val & all the family. Thank you Val, you were a great support to Brian throughout those wonderful years at Murghebuloc.
