‘Every fundraiser North and South owes Bryan a debt of gratitude. He brought respect
and professionalism to fundraising and many people are proud to say that they attended
at least one of his training courses,’ Paul Kane, Regional Fundraiser for Trocaire,
said.

Kate Fleck, National Director of Diabetes UK Northern Ireland, said he would be 
sadly missed by friends and colleagues in Diabetes UK where he was a tower of strength
and an inspiration to all who worked with him.

On a personal level, IoF treasurer Julie Forester said he was welcoming, encouraging
