The following messages of condolence and symbols
have been added in memory of Brian.

I worked with Brian from 1975 up to 1993.
Since then we have been good mates. I will miss him greatly. We talked every other week. We covered everything from our personal medical issues to technical issues on anything, especially our aged motor vehicles – his and mine. He was a genius on electronic and electrical issues. He always had valuable suggestions and often would have or make a special tool for me.
We were a valuable resource to each other. I would make any mechanical parts he required and he would provide parts, know-how and labour for anything electrical or electronic. I definitely had the best part of the deal. When any electrical item of mine stopped working, Brian would say, “drop it in and I’ll have a look.” The next day it would appear on my front door-step working perfectly. And I know that he did this for lots of people. What are we all going to do?
Brian has gone and left us much too early. When someone like Brian goes, it’s like losing an encyclopedia as well as a good mate.

💖Love story💖
My sister Manuela worked in Tower Hotel Mabini,in late 60's.They were on strike during that time when suddenly a white man was trying to enter to the hotel,but my sister blocked him and said to him that he can't check inn,but Brian insisted that he is getting in to get some documents to his hotel room.But my sister was very angry and heated argument errupted,and my sister gave one jab to Brian's abdomen🤣After the incident Brian joined the picket line,
Brian is an Electrical engineer,he was once the responsible for Cultural Center of the Phillipines electrical plans and lighting, from Rank Strand Electric Asia Limited. That's why he was here in Philippines and the Love story with my sister begun.By the way Brian and Colin Wild was in the same company worked.
I can never forget the first time I went to Melbourne,December 26,1996 you took me from the airport and we drunk victoria bitter beer more than a slab and the hangover that I can never forget.Our daily routine in the bake shop,the muffins we delivered to Anset airlines,the timber we chopped for winter,a broken computers that we picked and you could easily fix it.
I didn't realize that March 3,2007 was the last drink for us🍺Farewell my brother in-law ,May you Rest in Peace🍺🌷🙏

For my sister Manny and her family,
My sincere condolences to your immediate family. I know how you feel , because I have been in the same situation. Now he is free of pain and suffering. Please receive my undying support and prayers.
Let me know how I can help you.

I had known Brian for about 30 years and was extremely sad to hear of his passing. He was a good friend and a real gentleman. We shared a common interest in technical subjects and were family friends as well. We were guests at each others' children's weddings and shared many social occasions with our wives. Brian was a witty considerate person who was always ready to help with advice or to find some rare item. He was well known in the Australian radio and electronics world and will be sorely missed by many of us.

What great times we had .Qld in old FJ,s. Murry river in Goldies Land Rover. Central NSW in my 48 Chev & Adrian was along on most outings
Brian you were one of my 2 best mates Your mum & Dad let me live with you in Duke st in 1967 until i married & moved away..
RIP Mate

My loving dad, I’m at a loss now you’ve gone. You’ve led me to a better day all my life and you’ve raised me to find another beautiful loving man in my husband Phil. You were my champion, a great human who understood and saw right through them. Yet you yourself were fragile and suffered the affliction of human love in all its highs and lows. You were true to your word until the end and I will always respect that. You always made me feel loved and wanted even when the others abandoned us. You knew me and thought of me in tiny little ways that always made me feel like I was special to you - a legacy of emotion so important in life that I will pass on to your other beautiful girl, your granddaughter. She will grow up knowing that her photo was the last thing you’d see before you turned off the light. Her little face peering out and keeping watch, reassuring you that your legacy of love will live on forever in our hearts. I wish we had more time, there were so many more fish to catch and adventures to be had. Now you are with Adrian and Jim and Bonnie, with Graham and Mackie. You’ve got a whole lifetime to catch up with your brother and I wish you all the happiness and peace now you have moved on from us mere mortals. Back to the stars you go dad, you will always be the brightest star in my universe xx Narnie xx
