    Vale Brian (Brian Calder)

    I've just been informed that AULRO member, Brian Calder AKA Brian on here, and long time ex-colleague from our OTC/Telstra days, passed away yesterday after a short battle with cancer.

    I last saw Brian about a month ago when he moved back from Qld at the insistence of his daughters after he was diagnosed.

    That's not the best news to hear, At least his suffering has ended,

    Thoughts go out to his family,

    My deepest condolences to Brian's family and friends.

    That's terrible news Ron, in the short time we met and spoke it was clear what a nice Brian was, my condolences to his lovely family which I had the pleasure of meeting the same day.

    R.I.P Brian, you will be missed.

    Baz.
    Cheers Baz.

    Wow. If it's the same bloke, I believe I briefly met him at the Arthur Goddard evening. His brother was a little late picking him up, so Barefoot Dave and I kept him company. First impression was he a lovely guy, and gave no indication of ill-health (visually or verbally).

    RIP mate.

    I concur with all the above comments. Brian was a regular visitor here in the Newcastle area, and I used to enjoy a coffee and a chat with him. Last coffee/chat was about a month ago, when he told me the news.
    Brian was one of nature's gentlemen. RIP Brian.

    A short battle is the best battle when it comes to cancer.

    Small mercy that he was given time to prepare.
    Our thoughts and understanding to Brians' Friends and Family.
    Cheers, BDave.

    I was very fortunate to meet Brian a few times.
    1st at banjos place and then him and I were lucky enough to travel from the hunter valley to Brisbane for the Arthur Goddard night.
    I made sure I met him just before I moved up north, I was just thinking yesterday I should give him a call.
    I was really hoping to see Brian again when I went back home.
    I hope I get the chance to meet his daughters again as there are a few things I would like to tell them.
    Thank you so much Ron for letting us know.
