Tributes

Our home Conveniently located on Brian’s route to the medical centre, he knew that Andru was always keen to have a laugh and a common grumble to generate some entertainment for all. Any day, any time, any opportunity to talk ‚Merc‘ was welcomed by both. Times of laughter and jokes filled the house and we enjoyed getting an update on the cat 🐈, the house / apartment and the Club. We will enjoy remembering these times and cherish the great conversations we had. Brian was wonderful company and made a positive difference to many in his life and surroundings. We last saw him just a couple of weeks ago and while he looked a bit different as we hadn’t seen him for a while- he certainly managed to cheers us up the same way as always. We are terribly sad that Covid has forced us to stay away from the ‚celebration of the life of Brian‘ today. It would have been lovely to have been there with Lyn and Brian’s friends with which we share his common interest with. The love for a beautiful car with a star ⭐️ on the bonnet. Rest well Brian - while the fight is now over - the stories will live on - and you know Andru will never stop ramblin‘ on 😆. Take care Brian .
