“Deepest condolences to the family, I worked directly for Brian for 7 years at BC Ferries...he was a great boss. We shared of love of golf and sports - he was the basketballer and I was a hockey guy....but it worked. He was a great mentor for me, gave me lots of opportunity to grow and always supported me. I learned a lot about how to lead from Brian. He had lasting impact on those that knew him well... and he will be missed.”
