Brian was a dedicated and successful businessman having spent 40 years at Waterloo Manufacturing. He was President and owner until his retirement. He was also actively involved in K-W Octoberfest for many years. Brian and Nancy were always connected to family and friends by the water. Whether swimming with their children and grandchildren at their home in Waterloo or as "Snowbirds" relaxing by the pool in Siesta Key. Water was a part of their daily lives. So many wonderful memories of laughter and happiness came from the cottage on beautiful Lake of Bays. He loved fully with all of his heart. He managed his health with dignity and diligence the best that he could. He lived every moment with his adoring wife Nancy by his side. He will be forever missed and remembered.
