Dear Judy and Family. It was so sad to read of Brian's passing. I got a chance to meet Brian when we worked together driving Rock Trucks. Brian was so calm, friendly and helpful. I will always remember his laugh, humour and his way of making sure we took our breaks and lunch time. Take care, thinking of you and your family during this sad time.

My heartfelt condolences to the Murphy family. I had the honor and pleasure to work with Brian for some time at H,Bye Construction. I was a machine operator as was Brian. When Brian arrived at Bye's, I had become too serious and grumpy to be frank. Brian made work fun again. Brian always had a witty remark and bags of jokes accompanied by intellect and empathy for all. He calmed me down and mentored me in a way only special people can. I always looked forward to being on site with Brian as he was a helpful artist on that dozer and he had a team player mentality that made the job easy. He was a town character for all the right reasons and will be greatly missed. The smile (and his laugh) in the photo provided above is always how I will remember Brian. It was an infectious, the world could have benefited from it much longer. Take care my friend
