Brian was a staple at our Lindsay Place High School reunions. Larger than life and full of laughter. He was a gentle soul in a large package, and it was always a treat to talk with him.
I have known Brian since he moved to Montreal (Valois)...thus a classmate in elementary and high school for many years. Brian has always been a pillar of kindness and integrity, along with great humour and story telling charm. It was always wonderful to see him at our Grade 11 class reunions and he will be sorely missed. My heart goes out to Lisa and family. Nancy
My love and thoughts are with the Wright family as your grieve the loss of your dear Brian. Your father/husband has had a profoundly positive impact on my life as a mentor and friend. He selflessly and patiently invested substantial time and effort in me as a lawyer and shared his ear and wisdom through significant personal challenges I had as a young man without family on this side of the country. I will forever be thankful for having had the good fortune to have Brian in my life.
We are reminded of our lovely brunch in a charming Halifax restaurant followed by our fabulous walk in the nearby park. As well, we remember our wonderful visit to your home - albeit we were not fortunate to have the incredible scenic view at the time as the fog was only lifting upon our departure. We enjoyed Brian's and your warm hospitality and kindness, and we are so pleased to have had precious times together. We were surprised and saddened to hear of Brian's passing. What a really nice guy! What a loss! We are going to miss Brian. Lisa, our deepest sympathies are with you and the family at this time.
Dear Lisa, I was saddened to hear of Brian's passing. The photo that you posted in the guestbook says it all about him: he was a friendly, warm person. He was genuinely interested in other people. I have many fond memories of chatting with him and with you at firm events and enjoying some good laughs. He was taken too soon, and he will be missed. I extend my deepest condolences to you and your children.
