So sorry to hear this news from Tim today. What a wonderful person he was, what an inspiration. One would never have guessed he was 90. Every Thursday I had the pleasure of seeing Brian diligently and quietly going through his exercise routine. Such a lovely man a delight to have known.

Brian was a stalwart parishoner at CTK and I had the privilege of being involved with him at many different church services and study nights at his and Maureens home until they shifted to another parish. Prayers and condolences to Maureen and family. God bless
