I am so sorry to hear of Brian's passing, and for your family's loss... The time I spent with Brian was short, but was more than long enough to understand that he had a heart of gold, and would do whatever he could to help others in need...
I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but when my father - Ralph Ogilvie - fell ill six years ago, Brian stepped up in a way I will never forget, and can never fully express my feelings of gratitude. I would like to think that at some point in my life, I will be able to pay this debt forward by providing the same support and comfort to someone else the way Brian did for my dad in his time of need.
As I was a four hour drive away from my dad, my time with him as his health deteriorated was limited to weekends and whatever other time I could manage away from work. Brian stepped in to fill the voids for me, up to and including Hospice care.
Brian's compassion and understanding of my dad's situation, coupled with a desire to make things as comfortable and manageable for him as possible improved his quality of life immensely over the last few months. At the same time, he helped to ease my worries some that my dad wasn't alone when I couldn't be there...
My condolences,
Jason Ogilvie (son of Ralph / grandson of James)
