Dear Melissa
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I used to work for BMO, Bank of Montreal prior to my husband passing, and I knew both you Mom and Dad and I was their personal banker. I used to see both of them together in Safeway, and then only your Dad. I know how you must be feeling on this day. I moved to Langford in March, otherwise I would have attended your Dad’s service.
Please accept my sincere sympathy Melissa.

Our hearts go out to Melissa and family at this very difficult time. We all have so many wonderful memories of times spent with Brian and Trudeen over the years.

We are very sorry for your loss, he was an awesome guy, we were better people for having the privilege of knowing him. I still remember being on stage with Brian and Andy at Cow. High for the Dating Game back in 1967. Brian will be missed. Take Care Chris & Wendy

To Melissa, Norma and families: Many years ago Brian and I were the ‘youth reps’ on the Search Committee who called Jim Ware to Duncan United. We have wonderful memories of the Carter family at DUC, more later when Brian and Trudeen married. Brian lit up when talking of his grandchildren. And we know he’s still singing in the choir, accompanied by his mom. Our best to you all.
