Dear dad #2:  i still remember you opening up your warm home to me when I was an overseas student in Huddersfield.  I still remember the nice family gatherings that I was invited to.   You will be missed.

Sending all our love to you and family Kath. I have known you and Brian most of my life and have many memories of Brian. To me, Brian was a true gentleman, gentle, loving, caring and funny. I know he was adored by his family and friends and he will be greatly missed. I personally find some comfort that my Mum and the other Spritely Buds in the sky will be there with him.
We will be in Kirkheaton on the 22nd to blow Brian a farewell kiss.
Sending love and strength to you all.
Kirstine, Kate and Natalie xxx
