We are so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. It was always a pleasure to meet up with Brian as he usually had a good joke or a story to tell you. I will always remember Brian and his brother Lloyd at the wrecking yard shooting their homemade potato guns at all the wrecks in the yard. They were so proud of themselves. I don’t know how they ever got anything done! They were always having too much fun.
Our deepest sympathy to the Turcott Family and to you Lloyd. I know you’ve lost a brother and a best friend.
