I served with Brian on my first sea posting he was a NS2 on Duchess I was a OrdME spent most of time on Duchess as the shipwrights yoeman Brian was great fun to work with along with Blue Asquith NS2 and Ernie Graham CNS

I then served as a ME (D) at Waterhen again as Chippies Yoeman with Brian Being the NS1 again Brian was a great boss
The next time I served with Brian was on Stalwart this time we were both NS1
The last time we served together was at Nirimba I was on the "Q" Cse he was ships company
During the times I served with Brian he was a true gentleman
Im really sad to see he has passed away
Rest your oars buddy there is a place in heaven for you
