Joan Goddard
I worked across the highway from KFC back in the eighties. And I have great memories of Brian making his rounds after the lunch rush ended, always smiling, always with something good to say. Sometimes he’d bring us some chicken, sometimes he would just pop in to say “hi”. I was sad to hear of his passing and the illness which took that sparkle away from friends and family far too soon. He lived his life with such joy and we cannot help but miss that great big smile. I am so sorry for your loss.
Bryan & Susan McAllister
Very sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. I worked for him in high school at my first job and my Mom got to know him through that. I only have great memories of Brian, an extremely hard working man who instilled a good work ethic in his employees, he was fair and friendly with a quick wit and great sense of humour. We always got along well and consider him an inspiration for the fight he put up. Both myself and my mother Susan, who was very saddened to hear she missed the Celebration of Life, want to share our deepest sympathies. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace Brian
Mary-Lynn Oke
Dianne and family – my sincere condolences on your loss. Brian gave me my first job and I enjoyed working for him for many years. He was the perfect balance of boss, mentor and friend.

Teri and Craig Hern
Both my husband and I worked for Brian at KFC when we were in high school. Although it was more than 20 years ago we still have many fond memories of working with Brian. KFC was my first job and where I met my husband. Brian taught us both the value of hard work, which is something we both carry to this day. Our deepest sympathies to all Brian’s family and friends during this time.
Garry & Janice
Dianne, Kelly, & Matt
Doug & Anne, and family
Brian was one of a kind! Always a pleasure to run into him, for a quick update on our families and each other. He was always upbeat and positive, even during times when he had every reason not to be. I remember him telling our Jennifer as a young girl to to sure and ask the tooth fairy for $10.00 for the front tooth she had just lost. Apparently it was the going rate according to Brian. Thanks for the memories.
Rest well dear friend,
Fondly, Garry & Janice and family
Tammy
Sorry to hear of your loss. Think of you all.
Will miss being called grandma at Canadian tire.
MickieStruyke-Laurin
It was a pleasure to have known Brian. He made everyone feel great about themselves by just stopping and chatting with them. He knew how to make someone’s day.
He fought a strong battle and gave it his all
Dianne, Kelli and Matthew my deepest sympathy. May Brian RIP
Steve Gould
Brian loved to get a smile out of everyone at all times. One time I stopped at KFC with my 2 kids. The treat of the day was suppose to be a single package of Fruit Roll Up. Both of my kids walked out with a full box each with instructions from Brian to eat it all before they got home as he looked at me with that smile of his. Just one of many great memories of Brian.
My condolences to all of his family. Steve Gould.
Bob & Carol LeBeau
To the McGregor Family:
We always enjoyed meeting up with Brian and being able to reminisce with him. Having taught him as a young boy at Huron Centennial, there was always much to discuss and laugh about. His smile and happy disposition will be missed by many. May he Rest In Peace.
Bob & Carol LeBeau
Rob Kern
Dianne, Kelli & Matt
Deepest Condolences, Brian’s smile in that photo says it all. It was a pleasure to have known him. Never a complainer and definitely a kindred spirit in his wit and penchant for a good joke.

Cathy Westwood
Dear Dianne, Kelli, and Matthew,
My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband and father, Brian. I met Brian while I was teaching at Exeter Public School. The students and I looked out the window one day and there was Brian with his horse inviting us out to meet them. A one of a kind experience but then, so was Brian. I very much enjoyed our chats when he was into the school on KFC days. Brian had a great sense of humour and was always so positive. I am sure you will miss him dearly. Once again, so sorry for your loss.

Janet & Frank Winters
Dianne,Kelli and Matt,
We certainly don t have to tell you how funny Brian was. He was a hard worker and always had time to talk, whether at work, in the grocery store or at the soccer field many years ago. He would always talk about the old bird and the brats , with a twinkle in his eyes and much proudness. If you asked him how he was, he always made his burden to be small. It didn’t matter what you talked about his quirky sense of humor always made you smile. Rest In Peace Brian and God bless your family.

Patti Stanley and Ross Alexander

Rest in peace Brian.
Marie & Garry Kechnie
Dianne and Family: We are so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing but know he put up an amazing fight for years and never ever complained. He was always full of jokes and made you laugh. We will never forget him.
Carissa Desjardine
Dianne, Kelli and Matt, I am so sorry for your loss. Brian truly was one-of-a-kind. As one of his former ‘cats’ at KFC, Brian and his “magic dust” left such a huge impact on the people who were fortunate enough to work for, and along side him. Brian’s fun-loving approach to life, problem solving and laughter, sometimes at your expense, were truly inspiring as he, most usually silently, fought a tough battle. His sense of humour, “Hi-Gomer” phone calls and tales will always put a smile on his face. I consider myself lucky to have considered Brian a former boss, and a lifelong friend. Treasure your special memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
George and Jeanett Wood
Dear Doug ,Anne and family,
We were so saddened to hear of Brian’s passing. He was a wonderful young man,always a tease when we visited KFC,always asked about our family ,always so upbeat. He was a fighter ,never complained ,he lost his battle way to soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Greg & Brenda Dayman

Christina Sanburn
Di, Kelli and Matty (the brats)
I would like to send my heartfelt sympathies to and the rest of your family.
I was the former manager of KFC in Wingham. On several occasions I would travel to Exeter KFC to work, pick up or return product or just to visit. Never would I go without snacks for Brian though. We spoke pretty much every day on the phone if we were at work. Usually Brian had a computer question, as he so loved technology. Always greeted by-Hi Gomer, How are you today? Are we crying yet? Always had a story to tell and would make me laugh.
He has touched so many lives and I’m so very honored that I was one of them.
Brian-Hope you have endless snacks!
Fly High My Friend
Christina
George and Sue Wilson
Dianne , Kelli and Matthew, Brian’s Mom and family, We are very sorry for your loss. Brian was friendly. Always busy. Cherish your precious memories and hold them close to your heart. Hugs and prayers, George and Sue Wilson and family

Ross and Deb Caslick
Dianne and family. So sorry to h ear
the news. When ever we met he always set the bar very high. The sky could be falling , and he would simply shrug his shoulders , roll his eyes and chuckle; Made you want to do better. His family , his friends, his horses and his home , he was happy. I don’t know how I became grandpa , but I never asked. Up at the crack of dawn to pick eggs, he always found time to deliver a flat of eggs. Thanks Brian for everything.
Dianne Waun
I will always smile as I remember Brian showing up often at my Grade One classroom at Exeter Public School – and hosting an on-the=spot “Show and Tell” session….with bunnies, or chicks, or ducklings…or even a horse.
Later he was a great “first boss” at KFC to both of my kids as teenagers.
Thinking of his family during this sad chapter in your lives.

We do not know where to begin – what a great loss to our community!
Brian’s banter with our family – at the hockey rink – on the volleyball court – on the street – at KFC – I guess everywhere … will be sorely missed!
Brian was a wonderful person who would do anything for his friends, family and employees. He always had a ‘smarty’ comment but he said it with great humour!!! He also always wanted a comeback ☺
Our deepest sympathy to all of you and your families!

My deepest sympathy. I worked with Brian many years ago when he managed KFC.

Sincere sympathy to Dianne and family in the passing of Brian. He always kept me up to date on Kelli and Matthew when attending school and where they were working. He will be missed by many as he always had time for a chat or phoned to see if everyone was doing OK. Anne and Doug – you raised a very kind and hardworking son and he spoke very highly of you both. Brian always kept smiling even though he was very ill and never give up. Take care of each other at this sad time.
