I was saddened to hear the news about Brian. Brian was a big part of our family. He had a great sense of humour and a real gentleman. Dad (Bob Crowther) and Brian had great times together.
Unfortunately I am overseas and I just want to pass on my condolences to his family.

Brian was my godfather and a wonderful man with a keen sense of humour who used to challenge me as a kid to answer ridiculous statements, but always with a twinkle in his eye.
He was a kind friend to my parents and I'm grateful I was able to see him again a year ago.
I'm so sorry he has been taken so soon, and I know what a huge blow this will be for the family - especially Joe - in what has already been a sad year of passing. RIP.

I was so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. Brian and our father, Bob Crowther, spent many an afternoon together at Brian's house. I believe watching sport and having a beer. I remember being utterly fascinated by the 3d puzzle of the Basicila and many other little things Brian had. Brian was an a special man and always had a welcome for us Crowther kids. He will be missed and leaves behind many fond memories.

Brian was the best Godfather there ever could be. He was quick with a joke. He always had time for you and was very thoughtful. He will be dearly missed. Rest well my friend.
My condolences to the family.

We're so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. We met Brian years ago through his friend Trish (my husband's aunty) when he would help Trish at markets. He always enjoyed himself and always chatted lots to customers. He was a very friendly person and great to chat to at family events, always having such great wit and humour. Our three children were very fond of him also. RIP Brian.
