Brian was a wonderful family man who served the community for his whole life in so many different roles. He was deservedly well respected by many. It was my privilege to know him, as a cousin and a member of the Rope-Pulley Family Heritage Assoc. Brian was proud of his First Fleeter Family history and he was a very enthusiastic Chairperson and newsletter writer during his time with us. I don’t think he knew what retirement was as he was always busy, because he knew there was so much that needed addressing. His charity work spread far and wide, and his loss will be felt in many parts of our community. Rest In Peace Brian.Love from Rosemary and family.
