Ah, that's really sad news about Brian. He's a similar age to Dad, and I was just thinking the other day that he hadn't been on here in ages.

I wondered why Brian hadn't posted for such a long time. I had no idea he was ill.

A sad miss for this site and the rest of the planet.

He always came across as a real gentleman on this site and Villa to the core.
