“I had the great privilege of being a part of both Brian and Carol's life in various capacities for many years at the Alzheimer Society Durham Region. I had the good fortune of being able to tell Brian on more than one occasion how much of an inspiration he was to me . Brian taught messages of kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, and compassion through his interactions and relationships with others. He is missed and cherished”

Murray & Donna Whitelaw wrote a sympathy message

“Sorry to hear of Brian's sudden passing. I worked for Brian when he was Director of Partnerships, Programs, & Strategic Services of HRDC. Brian was a kind, caring man who believed in his staff. After his retirement, I regularly saw Brian volunteering for the Queen City Marathon, the Cathedral Village Arts Festival, & poking around at the odd sale such as Transitions Estate Services. Brian always said hi & visited. I will miss seeing him as an active member of our community. Donna Whitelaw”

“I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. He was the Principal at our kids' school in Newcastle, and he was instrumental in my decision to run for Trustee in 2003. I keep the supportive note he wrote to me right after that first election in my office on my bulletin board. It has always been important to me. He was a kind, compassionate, supportive friend to me when I needed one. May your memories of him support you through the difficult days to come.”

“I am saddened by the news of Brian's passing. I am the former CEO at the Alzheimer Society Durham Region and got to know Brian and Carol through activities attended as well as Brian's work on the Board of Directors. He was a kind and compassionate man who was always a wonderful advocate for those living with dementia and their care partners. To his family, I send my sincere condolences. May you find comfort in knowing that your dad is at peace with his beloved Carol.”
