It was such an honour to know Bryan as a neighbour in John Shaw Drive and as a friend. So easy to be with. My thoughts are with all the family, Lots of love.

When our kids were very small and before we all went in different directions for work, we spent much time with Bryan, Marriane and the boys. The odd catch up when he was traveling for work. Unrufflable and gracious with a beaming smile. A huge loss for his beloved family. Much love from us.

I always loved Bryan’s easy going approach. He was a very easy person to be around, this was evident in how Marianne and the boys were always so welcoming. From up north, Auckland and finally when I visited recently in Papamoa, I always had a great time at their home. I’ll miss seeing you Bryan, your attitude towards life was amazing!!

Sincere condolences to Marianne and family.
