Brian’s story
Brian was born on 21st December 1935. He grew up in Dagenham and had two siblings, Tony and Valerie.
In January 1958, Brian married June and spent a long happy life together, until June’s passing in 2017 (almost 60 years).
After two years of married bliss, they started a family with Ian being the first and then Debby, making their family complete.
Brian worked at Tilbury Docks for many years. He also spent some time working abroad in Jeddah. Before retiring Brian’s role was as a PTDC for the Prudential Insurance Company.
Brian made many friends over the years through his hobbies such as golf, outdoors and indoors bowls, where he took part in many internal and external matches.
Brian loved meeting up with friends on a Monday evening to play crib, enjoying the company and banter. Brian also liked to socialise at Probus Lunches once a month being in the company of friends and having a laugh.
Brian knew what was to come after his cancer diagnosis and was more concerned about family and friends than himself. He said many times “I have had a good life”.
He will be deeply missed by everyone that was part of his life.
The one phrase that Brian used to say right up to his last few days (you knew it was time to leave) was “Go, now don’t hang about!” I am sure he is looking down at us all, thinking the same thing right now.
