    Brian – ‘mad dog’ as many would remember, is how I was introduced to him many years ago. He was always a very special person! He had his own view on things and always did what he thought was right. He was a great friend, a wonderful husband, son, family man, and neighbor!! My heartfelt condolences Una. Getting from one beautiful memory to the next will help us all get through this sad time.

    Una & family, so sorry to hear of Brian passing, I will always remember when Brian gave our son Matt a summer job on the farm when he was about 13. He would ride his horse over to the farm in the morning & help Brian with jobs & then ride home again. It was a great summer job for a young boy! Please accept our condolences at this sad time.
