Very sad to hear about Brian's passing.
Working with Brian at the RBC for many years, I saw first hand his true worth as a person and a business leader/visionary. My thoughts are with the family & close friends.

I worked with Brian at Symcor and I was truly saddened to hear of Brian's passing.  Brian was an incredibly brilliant man who will be missed by many.  My sincere condolences to Brian's family.  May you find comfort in the memories.

I was so saddened to learn of Brian's death. We met as business associates, but became friends.  At the many meetings we both attended, he always offered insight and knowledge with his unique charm and wicked sense of humor - and an ability to figure out what the listener wasn't getting.  I will greatly miss him.  Godspeed, Brian.

We have been neighbours of Brian for over 25 years. One of our most vivid memory is of him and Adrian helping us one stormy night after a large branch fell over our car. To Jack, who brought him great solace over the past few months, and to his brothers, we want to express our deepest sympathy.

My condolences to Brian's partner and family. I worked with Brian at RBC in Toronto.

My sincerest condolences to Jack, my dad and my uncles Neil, Barry and Brent.  I hope that remembering the fond memories will help you in this difficult time.

I grew up in the neighborhood with Brian and his brothers,as children and into our teens. My older brother Bob and his oldest brother Pete were good friends. Sad to hear of Brian's passing. There are lots of good memories. My condolances to all the Salway brothers.

I am so very sad to hear about the passing of Brian. We, along with his brother Barry were childhood friends on Valiquette St. My thoughts are with the family. Judy Ross Stewart

My condolences to all of his brothers.  They were neighbors of ours for many years.  Sorry to hear about Brian.  Prayers for all his brothers.

It was a pleasure knowing Brian and Jack over the past two years.  Brian worked tirelessly to ensure the Boat was everything Adrian wanted it to be.  Now they sail the seas together.  To his good buddy Jack, all his family and friends. Know that he is in a better place resting peacefully.

Unassuming and congenial, Brian was a calm and stable influence at X9.  Always willing to help out and do what was needed, he was friendly towards everyone and rarely complained about anything.  He always sought out solutions to problems and took the initiative to make a difference.  After years of working on standards with us in the X9 family, many of us came to know Brian on a more personal level.  I sincerely hope that we provided support to him on that level, as much as he supported us, professionally.  A wonderful person who will be missed.  To his friends and family, our deepest condolences and humblest prayers during this difficult time.

Not enough space to list Brian's many qualities. Above all, I will miss his dry humour and our political conversations (usually both of these in combination) over the years.

Having just getting to know Brian and Jack over the last 6 months and spending time with them at their home and other social funtions Brian will be
missed. Skip & Henry

Brian was a great older brother. I'm so glad I was able to be with him and his rock, Jack, during his final hours. Your missed already, bro!

I had first met Brian in the mid 70's with RBC. We had many interactions working on various projects at RBC and later at Symcor. Brian was always quiet and civil, never a harsh word! Always willing to share his knowledge!I know he will be missed by all. Brian has left us far too soon! 

Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends!

I'm very saddened to hear of Brians passing. He was a wonderful man. A pleasure to be around and had a true kind heart. He will be greatly missed. My sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time.

I am saddened by the passing of such a kind, gentle and unassuming soul.  After close to 20 years, I had the greatest respect for the man that he was, the passion he had, and the care that Brian provided to Adrian for so many years.  I have missed the times that the three of us spent together, and will remember them with fondness.  Well done my friend, rest in peace.

Brian was one of the first people I met after 10 years in San Diego.  With a welcoming smile, always a keen listening ear, unabashed to share his thoughts or enlighten me, an engaging speaker, now truly missed.

Having all the qualities Brian possessed in a single person is rare, but even rarer to find them in someone who was always willing to share his gifts and truly join the team as a leader, mentor, and most importantly, as a friend to all.  Brian was truly one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.  We will all have a big void without him.  I will miss him immensely--he was a dear friend and colleague unlike any other.

I send my sincerest condolences to Brian's family and friends back in Toronto.

Lord Jesus, I pray for Brian's family in this time of need, help them through it and give them comfort. For all of us that will miss Brian, please give us peace and comfort. Thank you Lord. Amen.

Brian what can I say about you, you were so great to work with in the X9 standards team.  Your knowledge was extensive and yet you took the time to translate very complex terms into simple ones that even I could understand.  You never said “no” to any request, you were always available and a great team player.  You always took time to help me and others, and for that I will eternally be grateful.  Brian, you were easy going, fun and great to be around. When meetings ended and it was time to relax you always were there to sit down for dinner and enjoy a good laugh.  I will miss you dearly my friend.  Earth and I have truly lost a great one…..I will miss you.  To the family, I will be holding all of you in my heart and prayers.  God bless.
