We were devastated to hear of our dear Uncle and Brother-in-laws passing. A tremendous loss of a strong, passionate, and loving man.
We have so many fond memories to cherish. From our times on the 20 mile- Quad trips, fires, and family meals- to the time we ran away to St.John’s to see Brian and Darlene elope. Brian was so excited to get married, he got caught speeding!
Take comfort in knowing his suffering has ended and he has reached his heavenly home. What a joyous reunion!
