It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our beloved friend and neighbour, Brian Riley.
Many of us in this little town were touched by Brian in ways we are only now finding words for. He was the kind of person who made you feel richer for knowing him. He gave generously of his time, his knowledge, and the beautiful things he grew, and some of us have plants in our gardens today that came from his hands.
He was a clear and honest voice in our community, someone who stood for what was right and who showed up when it mattered. He leaves a gap that will not be easily filled.
Please see the image for details of the funeral service. We hope to see as many of you there as possible, to farewell a man who deserved every kindness.
With love to his family and especially to Lee.
