Diane and family.
We are so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. He was a kind and gentle man
We will never forget welcoming he was when we first moved into the Cove. He was an incredible card player and was fun to play with, whether he was your card partner or opponent!
It was easy to have a good laugh with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
