I keep very good memories of you, my friend Brian, or "Benoit", as we used to call you at the French class.
What I remember most was your sens of humour and your altruism. You really made me feel welcomed in your country. Asking questions about me, my country, taking me down to the Lake for an ice cream, or simply driving around in your car.
You always had a smile on your face or a joke to share.
Repose en paix mon ami !

Thoughts and prayers to the Harken family Jo and Jerry
Brian’s soul was as big and old as the world. Having had time to spend with him in a kitchen, was an amazing and highly respected time. His sensible down to earth attitude, heart, passion and humanistic view points were profound. Brother you are truly missed. You rehandled my knife and gave me one of yours that I will use every day in this career. You’ve set an example for so many others how to live life through caring. A huge loss and my condolences to everyone that this will effect. May we all find peace and solace in our memories with him. Humanity is a better place because you have been a part of it.
I am sending you all much love, peace and many prayers. Brian had a smile he shared with everyone! To those he knew and those he didn’t. He had a heart of gold. I am truly blessed that he brought so much joy and love to my family. He was such a genuine guy and He was the best friend to my brother Greg anyone could ever ask for. He will be missed. I pray for all of you and the many others life’s he has touched.
Brian, years ago reached out to me, he wanted to apologize for making fun of me when we were kids. I told him no worries, but he pressed on. Because he went out of his way to apologize years later, I really respected him. I meant to call him a few weeks ago while I was in town, I got busy, now I regret that.
