I miss you guys so much. Miss all of your colorful stories when we gathered around the dining room table in Texas. I also miss visiting you as a young girl in Kemptville and learning how to sew and needle point. You have left a lasting impression on me, Dave, Austin and Olivia. We will never forget you.
Ben, Krista, Elissa, Matthew Stinson
Thank you for your many stories and support over the years. Losing you is losing a large part of our family history. With the passing of Grandpa, Nanna, Dad and now you Aunt Tish, the Stinson history has to be carried by us. I hope we make you proud.
Love Ben and family

Brian and Pat were amazing. Always ready to welcome army travellers into their home as well as lend counsel as required. Truly great Canadians. They are missed.

A wonderful mentor and leader in the Guns. A beautiful couple that I was lucky to meet on several occasions outside of military functions. You will be missed.
Elaine, Kieran, Gavin, Linden, and Rowan Wall (Reid)
We are richer for having been part of Brian and Tish's family. Their humour, thoughtfulness, and generosity were always appreciated and now greatly missed. Beechwood will now be home to one of the finest war historians and one of the finest fabric artists in Canada.
A winderful couple, deeply missed.💔
