I didn't know he passed. But his obit doesn't match the guy I knew. He seemed to have a medical defect where he either liked the sound of his own voice or the joy in speaking over anyone who communicated with him even after you listened to his point of view. I have never come across anyone like this in my life....as I said it almost appears as a condition that may have never been diagnosed. Funny thing, I can write these words without him talking over me, or interrupting

So saddened to hear of Brian's passing. My sincere condolences to Brian's immediate and extended family.Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Dearest Alice, Kayla, Simone, Jacques and Family:

Our most deepest sympathy over Brian's passing. Although we didn't see Brian very much he always made sure to say hi and ask how things were when we ran into him.

Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Hugs to all.

Alice and Family,

I was so surprised to hear of Brian's passing. My sincere thoughts and prayers are for all of you.

Three fond memories comes to mind, as I think of Brian.

Talking me in to putting Calamari on my Bar Menu @ L'Auberge and helping me to develope some recipes for the coating....the "Acadian" calamari was the best! The famous....Cape Breton Cycle run. I hosted his cycle group pre and post the run. Brian was a true compeditor & host to his group and very much enjoyed this achievement.

I think of you Alice, and how much you always stood beside Brian in all his endevers....he will truly be missed. Sincerely, Pauline

Alice and family

Sad to hear that Brian is gone. It wasn't that long ago that we were neighbors in Little Barrachois and playing on the Back Beach. Always easy to talk to - a real great guy.

Jean Theriault, Iron River, Alberta

As a proud Boudreau Family member from West Arichat my heart is heavy and very saddened to learn of Brian's passing. I now reside in British Columbia and for the past several years Brian has kept me in touch and up to date with my cousin Sister Nancy Girroir in Moncton until her passing in March. Brian was always willing to share news and photos always laced with a quick wit just like Nancy.He made the distance small with his huge passion to keep family connected. Having not met in person his eloquent penmanship allowed me to understand and respect the wonderful, loving human being he was. As a person of faith I believe he and his Tante Nancy are having a grand card game.

All my deepest condolences to his Family and Friends.

Janet Marie (Boudreau) Tuft.

Dear Alice, Kayla, Simone, Jacques & Family,

Our sincere condolences! Our thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone of you during this difficult time of sorrow. Brian will be sadly missed by all who had the wonderful opportunity of knowing him. God Bless you all! Rest In Peace Brian!

I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Capt. Brians' passing. He will be remembered for being a fair and just employer and his many acts of kindness to less fortunate. He will be greatly missed especially by his loving family, and community.

Alice and family ,We are so sorry to hear about the loss of Brian. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Cherish the memories, he truly was an outstanding man!

Rest in Peace my university room mate. To this day I still use some of your zany quotes with a chuckle and will always remember the good times, laughter and of course the long nights cramming we shared. I'm happy I got to know and spend time with you. It was so many years ago but seems like only yesterday. I know you're up there flashing that broad mischievous smile catching the big one and showing the others what angle of incidence the rod needs to be at to improve the chances of landing it.

Our deepest condolences, so sorry and shocked to hear of Brian’s passing. Of the short time that we had the privilege to know Brian, he was an extremely pleasant man with a great love of food and very passionate being. Prayers to all. Chefs Shawn & Andrea Massingham.

in my field of business, it's not often that a person who chooses to become a client becomes a personal friend.

it was more than the fact that we were both engineers who chose not to practice in the profession but instead became entrepreneurs. and more than the fact that we were comfortable being analytical when we were discussing business.....and more than the fact that we both liked to dance, which is very unusual for engineers of the male variety.

for he had a unique kind of quiet gregariousness in the sense that it could not be labeled as coming from someone that was extroverted. it was genuine, filled the room, and very comfortable to be exposed to... especially apparent when with him on the sea!

for the rest of my life whenever I hear the moving lyrics of Allister MacGillivray's "Sea People" being sung, I will remember Brian!

Dear Paulette and Brian's family. It was a shock to hear of Brian's sudden passing as I know it was to all. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time. Hugs to all. Denise

Stephanie and I were so shocked and saddened to hear of Brian's passing. We enjoyed some great times together, Michel Samson's wedding in Florida and scallop diving in Arichat. Brian was a kind man and a great family man. His kindness and generosity were so readily apparent to anyone who met him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends who will all miss him dearly.

sending my heart felt condolences to brian's family,,,having known brian since he was a young boy to present ,,I can attest to him being an awesome person and a steller man who always would spare a few minutes to have a chat whenever our paths crossed,,,rest in peace old friend,,,i will miss you.

my deepest condolences to all so sorry alice and family for your loss

We were shocked and saddened to hear of cousin Brian’s passing. He had a magnetic personality and was well respected by the community. The last time I talked to him last summer we were going to go for little sail but weather turned bad. There is nothing one can say to relieve the pain but take some comfort in knowing we share your loss and grief.

He died doing what he loved to do. The ocean was his home and part of him and he will always be there. We plan on attending.

I haven't seen you since high school Brian but you were always a kind man and had no problem finding friends. Your obituary describes you as still being a kind and loving man and it sounds like you lived life to the fullest. So happy to hear this but with much sadness I now have to say good bye. You are too young to leave your life ... like so many others these days but I guess God had different plans for you too. Much love and strength going to Alice and the rest of your family, it will be a rough road ahead for them all. Soar with the Angels old friend .... and watch over your family from above. xoxo

Alice & Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Brian was a wonderful person. He always had a big smile and was genuinely interested in people. May he rest in peace.

Dear Alice, children and sisters and other family members. Brian was a kind man and always was interested in my family. He always took the time to smile snd spend time with you. I am certain that you and the whole community will miss many of his wonderful qualities. We will pray for Brian and his family. Qu'il repose en paix.

Sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time
