The couple moved to Canada with their little family in 1974. Brian was a reserved man, but his warmth and kindness shone through whenever he was around his loved ones. He was a proper gentleman, treating everyone with respect and dignity, and his generosity knew no bounds. He was known for his patience, always taking the time to listen and lend a helping hand. Brian had a passion for model trains, planes, and automobiles, and was interested in any history on WWII as he served in the Territorial Reserve for 8 years in England.
