Feeling sad at the passing of my dear cousin, Brian. We would talk now and then and remember him from Calcutta where we grew up together. Remember all the parties at his residence in Lower Circular Road way back when and he was an excellent dancer especially jiving. My heartfelt condolences and prayers are with Colleen, Darren, Lorraine, Noel and other members of the family. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Love and God’s Blessings.
Our family would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to all of you, Lorraine, Noel, Darren and all of our 2nd cousins.
We are so sorry to hear about his passing but are comforted that Noel’s suffering has ended and that he will be received by Our Lord at his heavenly home.
May God give you all comfort and peace at this devastating time.
I will remember both Noel and Audrey, as well as you all, in my prayers and so will Sabrina.

I was little but remember the signature black leather jacket and pet white mouse, slick hair, cool boots, motor bike, love for rock-n-roll music, loud hearty voice and warm laughter to draw everyone in. As I had remembered saw the same Brian from decades past when visited the family in Canada. A warm heart and so sad to hear of your illness and passing. RIP Cousin Brian 🙏
