My deepest sympathy to all the family.
Brian was a very special close long time friend of our mum and dad. Merle and Lindsay Tostevin. His expertise in building was greatly appreciated on both Hobson Place and Liverpool Street homes. It was fondly remembered the time when Brian was bending over on the job, when a toddler holding a screw driver, struck him in his rear end.
What a surprise!!
Rest in peace lovely man.
Love Rita
