It was an honour to know and spend time with him both on and behind the oche. His determination to win both darts and debates always made him a consistent opponent. He was never too proud to ask for advise from people that knew what he needed to learn. A true gentleman that spoke an honest word always. He has and will always be missed by those he touched. Take care mate

You brought a little it of UK to NZ every time i seen you! You will be hugely missed, you live on along with your legacy through your boys! Miss you matey!

Brian, what a special day surrounded by amazing people. A real tribute to you and your family. You’ve always treated me with love and respect and I’m blessed to be in your families life. I’ll continue to support your sons in any way I can,. Sam means the world to me and you should be proud of the man he , jack and Tom have become. Love Ryan

We are all so fortunate that Brian was able to spread so much love among so many people in his time here on this earth. Truly a legend.

Thank you Brian for dealing with me coming over in primary and intermediate, kicking balls over your fences, and taking the lounge to play silly things like ‘Patrick Moore plays the xylophone ‘ You were an amazing dad

To the Burfoot’s, Our thoughts are with you in this time. We are truly sorry for your loss. Sending so much love always x

So sorry to hear this sad news thinking of your family xxx

Always up for a chat - Loved his family and always there to support them all. Top man. X Muzza

So sorry to hear of your passing Brian. It was nice to see you again when I came out in march/April this year. I enjoyed accompanying you to a couple of matches to see Sam play for West Coast Rangers. And it was good to see the rest of the family.

You left a big impression on us, Uncle Brian. Always remember you even after all these years. I wish we could have seen you in recent years. Rest in paradise, lots of love Chloe, Josh and Ronnie xxxx

So sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. Have many fond memories of the times our boys were playing football together. Especially trips to Fiji and France. Regards The Armisteads.
