Both Brian and Janet were stalwarts of the MacKenzie Golf Culb for so many years. Brian spent numerous hours mowing fairways and greens. Along with other club members they were instrumental in the installation of the irrigation to the greens. Both Janet and Brian will be forever missed.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Brian. He was my father's first cousin and the last of the McTaggart descendants to pass away. I last spoke with Brian about 10 years ago when he was in Lake Tekapo. My condolences to the McCarthy family.
