Brian Edmund Mortimer (8 May 1939 - 9 Jul 2020)

In loving memory of Brian Edmund Mortimer who sadly passed away on 9th July 2020.

Dearly missed by wife Vera, his five children Helen, Kaye, Karen, Keith and Alex, his grandchildren Caitlin, Ciaran, Kimberly, Florence and Giles and his children in-law Andrew, Matt, Jo and James.

We say our final goodbyes at North Wiltshire Crematorium on Tuesday 11th August at 4pm. Due to restrictions this will be attended by family and invited guests only. The family intend to hold a memorial later in the year for those friends and colleagues who wish to celebrate Brian’s life.
Family flowers only please, though donations in memory of Brian are welcome to Parkinson’s UK.

Brian was a quiet, considerate and proud man who loved his family dearly and over his 81 years, touched the hearts of many others. Always being there to help if you needed it.
Engineering was in his blood. He followed his father Edmund in to Garrard Engineering and Manufacturing Company, starting as an apprentice in 1956 and became the Quality Control Manager and was one of the last to leave the company when sold in 1984. He then took the position in Quality Control within Torin-Sifan, with many happy years there until his retirement in 2004.
Brian also took on the mantle from his father Edmund of model making. Creating beautiful working replicas of a Spitfire Mk9 and the PS Waverley paddle steamer along with RC cars and many other boats and airplanes, belonging to many model clubs along the way. He was also passionate about his father's car Ford Capri Consul, taking many years to lovingly restore it so it could also be used at his children's weddings and grandchildren's proms.

With all his fixing and making and creating, Brian was always a family man at heart and the many things he did he did for us. We will dearly miss him being with us, but we will never forget him.
