Thank you for reaching out Jim. It is appreciated. Best wishes, Kevin.
Very sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. We joined his circle of many friends at La Coquina Condos in Florida more than 10 years ago. Along with many other regulars we got to share his company, his insights and his hospitality every winter since then. We all will miss him.
Hi Kevin R,
Your father had a good life. God bless him. My condolences.
My Family and I wish to express our deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved Father.
May he rest in peace.
I am sending all my thoughts to all the Rumballs.
What a wonderful life and legacy your father, Brian, left. I have so many fond memories of your dad, whether it was his love for Neil Diamond or Monty Python, his wonderful “sharp” humour.
Maureen, one could only wish for the love you and Brian shared.
So, in the words of the Monty Python gang, “Always Look at the bright side of life.” I hope Brian is up in Heaven with a beer and a song. For his life was so bright.
Much love,
Kim Gatto-Brechin & my entire clan
My heart goes out to you and your family during this difficult time.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Brian and Maureen a truly wonderful couple and soulmates. Brian will remain in our hearts forever. Missing someone is sadness wrapped in the blessing of having known them.
A beautiful service for a wonderful man who lived life to the full. Brian will be sorely missed and forever loved by all those who knew him especially his loving family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all through this difficult time Xxx
