    Dear Ann and Family:

    Upon just arriving home from moose huting, I am very saddened to hear of your loss.
    Brian was always ready to greet with a smile and handshake and involved with the community. He has been taken much too early and will be greatly missed.
    Please accept my deepest sympathy.

    A Brothers Love.
    A Brother is a Special Gift
    Sent from God above
    for us to cherish daily
    and fill them up with Love
    In the beauty of a Brother it’s so plain and easy to see
    just how wonderful they make your life and how they were meant to be. Now what is it that makes a brother it’s quite difficult to say except he is the reason why your Sun Shines everyday.
    Rest in Peace
    Love Ruth

    when a person stares down at the earth he reminds himself that he is,after all, nothing more than dust, and that he shall return to dust. in this way he will not be seduced to pursue the fleeting desires of this world. you will be sadly missed with love sergio

    Anne, we were so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing after his recent illness. Our thoughts are with you and yours. We’ll remember him as we saw him last, smiling and laughing, and having a great time, with so many of his family around him, in Corner Brook three summers ago.

    Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention ot arriving safly in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, no money left, cigar in one hand, favorite beer in the other, body thoroughiy used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOW…’ what a ride!”’
