Condolences to you and yours.
We worked together many years ago when I was in the Maritimes.
I am saddened to learn of his passing. He was a good and kind man .

Marilyn,  we are so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing.  I am thankful that I had the opportunity to run into both of you several times over the last couple of years.  Mom (Teresa Martins) and I send our deepest condolences.

Dear Marilyn and family, we are so sorry to learn of Brian’s passing. He was one of the good guys who always thought about others and made you feel like you were special. We worked at Doane’s together for 25 years and Brian and Marilyn were always a team and up for most anything at the partners meetings. As a people person, the clients loved him, both professionally and personally. They were a special couple and Brian will be sorely missed. God Bless.

Sorry to heat of Brian's passing. My condolances to Marilyn, Karla and Scott.

Marilyn, Scott and Karla. Pam and I were so saddened and shocked to learn of the recent passing of Brian. Brian was so vibrant and colourful with a zest for life. He was always such a worthy contributor to professional and social life at Doane Grant Thornton and I always treasured his participation. Truly a friend and confidant. He will be so missed by all who knew him. 
Our most sincere condolences to all of you at this time. May precious memories of times with him comfort you.

One of my favourite guys at  Doane Raymond ... 

a 'free spirit, without veneer, genuine to the core'.

Farewell, my friend.

Sheila and I extend our deepest sympathies to your family. I had the pleasure of working with Brian at "The Firm" many years ago and his loud laugh, humor, and smile are well remember. He was a hard worker and served his clients well. We will all miss him.

Sincere condolences Karla and Marilyn on the passing of Brian. I hope your many memories provide some comfort as you deal with your loss.

Sinc and I have enjoyed many conversations with Brian over the years.  Our children spent a lot of time together in their younger days  (memories of  "The Blue Angels"). He was a special neighbour, making sure "The Circle" was maintained and mowed every summer.  He will be missed.  We are so sorry for your loss.

Marilyn and family,
Janet and I are so sorry to read of Brian’s passing. We have such fond memories of the years we shared with you and Brian while in Halifax with Grant Thornton. You and Brian were great to share time with as you were always upbeat and positive. We know you two had a special bond and that together you were able to have a very meaningful life together. Your family memories will keep Brian’s spirit alive in the years that follow.

Dear Marylyn, Karla, Scott 

I wish to send our sincere condolences from the Nicholsons.
Unfortunately we can't attend the visitation this afternoon.
Marylyn, I will call to arrange a visit next week

I was saddened to learn of Brian's passing. I worked at Doane Raymond at the same time Brian did. I replaced him in the Digby office back in the 1980's. We met a number of times after that over the years.  I always felt that he was an honest,  conscientious person.  My condolences to Marilyn and rest of Brian's family.

We had the pleasure of meeting Brian and Marilyn in siesta key several years ago. Words can not express our sadness to hear of his passing. Our sincere sympathy for Marilyn and the family

I went to high school with Brian. You couldn’t have a better friend to get through those early years.
Condolences to the family.
David Lassen and family..

We had the pleasure of knowing Brian for 50 years and being his neighbor for 42 years. He was so very kind, generous, cheerful, and helpful. We will be forever thankful for his assistance in our son Daniel's career and our daughter Jenna's business. Brian was always willing to lend a hand. The neighborhood will not be the same without him. We will miss Brian very much.
Our deepest condolences to Marilyn, Karla and Scott.

We have known Brian for about forty years through tennis. He was a kind man, a true gentleman, and a good friend. We will miss his steady presence at St. George’s. Our deep sympathy to Marilyn, Scott, Karla and the rest of his family for this sudden and tremendous loss.

Deepest condolences to Marilyn and family. I first met Brian when we worked together at Doane Raymond. He was a great person who loved to share a joke and a laugh. Whenever we would run into each other at various events we would pick up right where we left off. I will miss him a lot.

I was fortune enough to get to know Brian through St. George’s Tennis Club. He was an incredibly generous and kind man. My sincere condolences to his family.

Marilyn and family

Very sad to read of Brains passing. My deepest condolences to you all

For the short time my husband and I knew Brian we knew he was a stand up guy.  Brian and Marilyn opened their home to my family numerous times. To us they are special people.  I will never forget going to Scott’s gigs with them on numerous occasions.  My heartfelt condolences to the whole family.  Xoxo
