To Colleen and family
Our love and sympathy to you all at the untimely passing of a much loved Husband , Father and friend to all who met Brian during his life. It was a special day when Brian came into our lives at the age of Fourteen when as a friend of Tub Whitmores ( my brother-in-law) he came to work on our farm at Upland Rd during school holidays. Brian was the most trustworthy and honest guy who was loved by our kids as an older brother. We will all miss you Brian so Rest in Peace and sing to the Angels " She Wears My Ring" like we did on your 40th birthday. Brian and Myra Dunn, Sandra, Jock, Warren, and Rochelle.
