40 years of knowing a most genuine, kind, honest caring man.
Thank you for checking on me because i was alone in lockdown. 
Thank you for letting me take the mick out of you in the Pilates and yoga classes. 
Thank you for your brilliant joinery jobs over the years. Craftsman. 
We both shared a love for the reds. So I will make sure that stadium is clapping just for you on the first game of the season. I am sure you will look down and love that mate. 
I visited you on Wednesday 12th June. You thanked me for being your friend. 
i never expected this to be the last time i saw you. So i want to thank you for being just Brian. Blue. 
Much love to Kath and your lovely family. 

It has been an honour to know you xxx
