How do you describe a person whose life was so well-lived? Graduate of Trent University, gentleman farmer, Deputy-Reeve of Cavan Township, cyclist, hiker, world traveller, good neighbour, carpenter, couldn’t keep a secret to save his life, naturalist, hardworking, dedicated, stalwart, visionary, witty, deep thinker, insatiable mind, and well read and knowledgeable on many topics. And, did we mention self-taught musician?

Brian built community wherever he went. For example, in the late 1980’s Brian was part of the initial planning for the Kawartha Rail Trail which went on to become part of the Trans Canada Trail. Through the 1990s Brian led and championed the work of the Peterborough Social Planning Council. His courage, determination and deep commitment to social justice served as a bright light. Declining health did not stop Brian from being instrumental in the thinking, planning, development and implementation of countless community initiatives.

A Celebration of Life will take place at 2 pm on June 2nd at the Century Barn, 400 Stewart Line, Cavan Monaghan Township. Brian and Cindi were married in this venue.

Friends with stories and memories of Brian are invited to share them at the gathering.

A cèilidh will follow.
