I was blessed to spend time with Bob...love Frances

Our deepest condolences to the Brain Family. Angie, Pierre and I want you to know we love you both tremendously and hold dear in our hearts the memories we've shared. Bob was truly an amazing person, we loved and will always treasure every second of his presence. It is a Blessing and a gift to have known him. How much we hoped and prayed we could've had more of his visits :(  May his soul forever be at peace in paradise! May God Always Bless you and the Family ∞ XOXO

Mr. Brain probably single handedly changed and shaped my teenaged life.  A tremendous role model and always someone who I could go to when I needed a pick me up.  He was probably the biggest reason I survived high school.   I think about you all the time and am very thankful to have been one of your students.  My condolences go out to your family in this very difficult time. God Bless!

My prayers and thoughts go out to Bob's family.  He was a sincere, great man and always good to everyone.  He was my teacher at Paris High from 1981-84.  Was one of the good teachers always enjoyed his class. RIP Bob you will be missed.

Very sorry for your loss. Bob,, or as I called him Mr Brain taught me physed and fitness at PDHS from 1981 - 1984. I still remember how he used to be right there with us doing his famous "fitness test".. pushups, situps, chin-ups, heel raise etc. Always made us want to do more as we didn't want to teacher to beat us,, which he did on several occasions... Great man, Great teacher....

Sorry for your loss. He was an amazing teacher and a great influence.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Brain's passing. He was my Science teacher at Paris District High, he was the best teacher I ever had and I will always remember him. He believed in me at a time when no one else did. He took the time to not only lecture, but listen too. His lectures were about life and made sense and he spoke to me with respect, I would get in trouble on purpose sometimes just so I could get a lecture from him. He finally told me that I could just come and talk to him, I didn't have to get myself into trouble first!
I will never forget Mr. Brain walking around the Science classroom tapping his pencil on his chest. He was so in shape that it was loud enough it was distracting during tests and exams.  
I remember Mr. Brain telling me that his wife had passed away and  how he took care of his children, including running them to various activities and also helping his mother with the upkeep on her house. I was so inspired by him, being a single parent, all that he did for his family and working full time too! He was an amazing man and I have thought of him often over the years. I am thankful for having the opportunity to learn so much from him, academically but moreso about life; the power of perseverance and overcoming the tough times. He had a huge and positive impact in my life and I am forever grateful.
I can't even imagine how much his family and friends will miss him. RIP Mr. Brain, the World has lost an amazing Man!

My deepest sympathy to Mr Brains family. Mr Brain was tough and coached us hard and we loved it. Mr Brain taught me how to be a man and has been a big influence in how I run my life. Thank you and I will see you again on the other side.

Being a former student of PDHS I had the honour of knowing this cool guy.  He had the type of personality that just made you feel better after talking to him, always had his humour. I specifically remember one day in particular asking him if he would like a puppy (Dob/Shepherd/Husky) as the dog (Doberman/German Shepherd mix) we had had a litter of 6. There were a couple of pups that actually had one brown and one blue eye...they were so adorable! I always wondered what he had named it and from time to time how he made out with him/her.

So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful teacher.

Our deepest sympathy to Angie, Rob, Rebecca, Ros and Richard.
We will miss the laughs and the lovely times we had with Bob and the family.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Greg and I are just a phone call away.
Love and hugs. 
                                                                  Greg and Donna Emison ( Las Vegas )

With prayers for your comfort and peace in the days ahead.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear that Bob had passed away.  I met Bob when I was a first year teacher at Flesherton District High School. His friendship and guidance got me through that year as he taught me all the things they don't tell you at the College of Education!  I shall remember Bob for his beautiful smile, quick wit, keen sense of humour and 
up-beat spirit.  He was a remarkable man of many talents.  My condolences to all the family and I shall remember him always in my prayers.

Dear Ros and Family,

Though he will be missed, our cherished memories will never be forgotten.

" A great teacher has little external history to record. His life goes over into other lives. These men are pillars in the intimate structure of our schools. They are more essential than its stones or beams, and they will continue to be a kindling force and a revealing power in our lives." - The Emperors Club (2002)

On behalf of all PDHS Alumni, thank you Mr Brain for your years of true leadership, inspiration & motivation. You will be missed.

We were all saddened to hear of Bob's passing.  It has been a long road for all of you.  Angie, we know you can feel confident that he was well cared for over the past several years.  He was a determined man but now there is peace.  We will miss playing cards.  So sorry for your loss.
Sincere sympathy.                                  John and Dorothy Donkers and family

Sorry to hear of Mr. Brain's passing.  Mr. Brain was a teacher of mine at PDHS back in the early 80's and was one that left a mark on me.  Old school teacher that demanded and gained the respect of his students.  As his obituary read, he was into sports and into personal health.  He set a great example for his students and drove the ones interested in the same to better themselves..............he sure did for me.  The year I took his personal health class I was never in better shape than after that semester and his class requirement to run the 5.6km concession is still talked about today.

As long as you gave an effort in his class, Mr. Brain always related well and had a connection with those students.

So sorry to hear this, Angie, and family. Sincere condolences, keep close to each other, find comfort in each other, God comfort you.

My condolences to your entire family. Bob and I worked together at Paris many years ago. I will always remember what a wonderful example he set for us all, as well as how much he cared for his students. I wish him peace.

Deepest condolences Angie and the rest of the Brain Family. In the short time i knew Bob, I found him to be a remarkable man. Sad to hear he passed away. Unfortunately i am currently away in Ottawa until Sunday. Will be sure to pay my respects on my return.

We are so sorry to hear.   He was a man we admired and I loved the time I had in Sheffield.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Deepest condolences to Angie and the rest of the Brain family. We have treasured memories of the time we spent  with Bob when we visited your home. May his soul Rest In Peace.                   
Harold and Gemma  (Trinidad)
