We are so sorry to hear the sad passing away of Brian, who has been an amazing stalwart to the Etwall Well Dressing Association all the way back to its formative days. The reason Mill Meadow Way became involved was because a neighbour of ours, Janet Bennett, now sadly deceased, noticed that Brian needed a Well Dressing secretary and she volunteered her services, approximately 40 years ago. Brian was chairman at the time. At the same time the Etwall Youth Club decided not to continue with their Well Dressing and Janet volunteered Mill Meadow Way to take over from them!! Brian has been an amazing and dedicated servant and will long be remembered for all he has done particularly in this village. RIP Brian and love and regards to Hilda, Christine, Michael and Richard and to you plus all the family.

Well what can I say about a wonderful Brian, dad* later Peter use to correspond via email & dad said that Irish howler is coming to your area & Julie has managed to get tickets for you to see * that Irish howler is Daniel O’Donnell. Joking aside he welcomed me with open arms and I am always welcome to visit Hilda & Brian anytime – just give them some warning when I would likely to come to see them. Now you & dad can have that four-wheeler walker race together as you never had the opportunity when you & dad saw each other few years back. It has been a pleasure to have met you Brian & enjoy that Brown stuff called Mild. Julie

Condolences to Hilda and all the family,

Hilda and Brian always made us very welcome at the Hague Gatherings when they were at Etwall. Alan loved making music with Brian – His accordion and Alan’s guitar sounded good together. Rest in Peace Brian.

Brian and Hilda made us so welcome. He was such a lovely gentleman I'll never forget him.
