Family flowers only but donations in lieu and if desired should be made to the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance (HERE for their website )

Old shipmates and colleagues will be made most welcome to the service and will be invited to join the family afterwards for refreshments.
On behalf of the RFA Association I offer our sincere condolences to his wife Hazel, their sons, grandchildren and great-granchildren.
Brian, originally from Tynside, served his time as an apprentice at Wallsend Slipway and Engineering joining the RFA soon afterwards. He served mainly in the old Wave Class until he retired on medical grounds in 1965.
