Ruth and I were really saddened to hear of the passing of Brian.I met Brian and Helen way back in Sept 1988 and I started guiding on Dry Creek shortly after that meeting right through to 2007. Brian was a great story teller and also a great friend. Rest in peace Brian.

So sad to read of Brian's passing.
I was Brian's Barber for many years and it always ended up with a big hug from Brian.
He was a lovely man and I know he was held in high regard by his many friends and the Fairlie community.
I was fortunate enough to speak with Brian at the Hospice before he passed while I was there with my own mother.
Deepest sympathy to Helen and Brian's family and I know he will be sorely missed by many.
A mighty Oak has fallen. May he Rest In Peace.

Fond memories of the trip to Mt Cook for the last Burnett stock sale. Always up for a joke or prank. A huge loss for the high country farming community.
