It was a great pleasure for us and Lenore Bryan to share many dinners and enjoyable conversations with Brian and Helen at the Mildura RSL Club. It was a privilege to know such a remarkable man. God Bless

The community has lost a wonderful gentleman. Brian was my boss and mentor at 3 organizations and you couldn’t get a kinder, more sincere man. He became a family friend, and he and Helen were always ready to have a chat, whether it be at the coffee shop, church carpark or a live theatre performance.
Condolences to the whole family, comfort in knowing Brian is now reunited with his beloved Helen.

Our condolences to Sean and Simone, Justin and Pier and Luke; and Brian’s extended family. Many many people have known his kindness, care and compassion, witnessed his integrity and enjoyed his company through his many connections with organisations and institutions in Mildura and beyond. His leadership roles were carried out with his values at the forefront.
He was a valued colleague at Sunraysia Water Board and led the newly formed Lower Murray Water in 1995. We enjoyed Helen and Brian’s company at work functions back then and remained in touch.
Regards and best wishes
