To Marion and family – with deepest sympathy. It was a privilege to have worked with Brian when stationed at Beeston. He was always most kind and helpful in giving appropriate guidance when required, and then later as a friend in retirement. He will be greatly missed. RIP Brian.

Condolences and sympathy to family. Brian was my first sergeant at Central when I joined in 1982. A very good sergeant who looked after his shift, a real gentleman and a friend. RIP Brian.

To Marion and family – with deepest sympathy. I knew Brian and Marion way back in 1965 when we were at Retford. I was one of the spotty Cadets. He always had a cheery smile and when we met years later when he was a Central and I was Nottingham Traffic; he was still that helpful person and didn’t appear to have altered.

they were good times. Brian was a kind and thoughtful man who had a positive outlook. He was a pleasure to work with and we were very saddened to learn of his death.
We offer Marion and family our deepest sympathy.
