I haven't kept up much with news from school and only found out late last night that Brian had died, so I am truly sorry that I will not be able to attend the funeral and offer my condolences in person. For me, Brian was a stand-out figure in my education. I enjoyed my time in the CCF immensely, and learned a great deal in the process, in very large part due to him. Brian had that rare gift of being able to command respect while also being as close to a friend as any member of staff can be; as cadets we knew that he would look out for us in everything we did. He had a tireless dedication both to the CCF and to helping to bring out the best in each of us, and I will always be grateful to him for that. So I am very sorry to hear of his loss and wish Joan, Jackie, Ian and Michelle, and the rest of the family, my sincere condolences.
