Condolence From: Noreen Tretick
Condolence: My sincere condolences to Brian's family. Brian came to visit me when he was on his transcontinental trek from Florida to Haileybury and spent a wonderful evening reminiscing about mutual friends, even hauled out my scrapbooks from CPHS. I was in High school with Sharon in Carleton Place and got to know the family on Lake Avenue, even babysat the odd time . He became a good friend in these later years and am so sorry to hear of his passing. A great man, intelligent, witty and caring. It was very obvious his family meant the world to him, I am sure he will be deeply missed.

Condolence: Dear Vince, Rob, Tony and families,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. What a great guy Brian was, always so full of life and stories. I'll miss his never ending emails, pictures and updates on his travels and just everyday life. He really had a knack for writing as they were never boring.
He was great at keeping in touch with countless friends and family members and took every opportunity to visit them and just stop by for a chat.
He told me countless times how much he loved and enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren and what a blessing they were.
He was so very proud of his boys.
I will miss his friendship.
Warm regards,
Angie

Condolence From: Colleen Pete's Small Engines
Condolence: I am sorry to hear of Brian's passing, I still have a hard time calling him Brian, I had him as a teacher at Haileybury Public School and he was Mr. Thornton then and still is, I have seen him in the more recent years as a customer of ours at Pete's Small Engines, and he was still Mr. Thornton to me there. It was always a joy to have a little chat with him when he would come in to see us, he will be missed by many.
