I met Brian when I was 16, and he worked at Keelan's in the Service Centre. His job was building and fixing bikes. He and Peggy had just married, and she was expecting Lorrie. He had a customized '49 Ford two-door hardtop with dual exhaust, four on the floor, and three two-barrel carburetors - "triple deuces" was what he called them. Plus, he had a 45 rpm record player installed in the dash of that car. It was just about the coolest car going.
For the next 60 years, Brian and Peggy were a huge part of my life. Theirs was truly a treasured friendship. I will miss him.
