I missed too much of Bryan's life. A huge gap from Levin/Horowhenua College days to a reconnect over the last 5 years on FB. Over the last few days I've been listening to the music playlists he gave to us and singing along to them. Love to have been able to do a duet with him, maybe one day. A life well lived.

To Anne and Family We are so sorry to hear your sad news of Brian. We would like you to know we are thinking of you at this sad time and hope you are all coping. With love and our thoughts of you Noel and Norma Procter

Dear Anne and Family So sorry to hear that Brian has passed on. He was one of the best and one of life's true gentlemen. He will be missed a great deal. Love Lenaire and Fred

Dear Anne and family. I was looking forward to coming up to support you all on Monday but I have gone down with the flu this morning. Anne I find times like this hard to express my condolences and it is difficult because I have not seen Brian for many years. In speaking to Brian's and your friends I am comforted by the support you all will get from your close friends and the ex Levin mob particularly. Our time in the surf club was the high-lite of our youth and Brian as club captain in 1968 had a heck of a job to keep us (the seniors) in control after the days patrol had ended. Anne I apologizes for rowdy team when you came in to pick up Brian but we all blamed O'Learry or was it Andy? (every time). Please pass on my condolences to Andy, and if any one is passing through Levin please call in. 4 Gardener Street, 027 656 2447 / 06 3686987 ( I'm not in the phone book)
