Interesting, overlooked, and significant obituaries from around the world, as they happen, emphasizing the positive achievements of those who have died. Member, Society of Professional Obituary Writers.
As I sit and wonder what this man, my brother, could have accomplished with just a little more time on the earth. I feel somewhat cheated as I am sure all of the people that he helped or would have helped feel. They lost an advocator of justice and I lost a mentor and a person I so looked up to. I enjoyed bragging about all of his accomplishments. My brother was a digger and loved to see justice prevail over evil. If you were being helped by him you simply loved the man and the way he carried himself and went about business. If you happen to be on the other side of the coin, you probably would not like him much because of his relentless and sometime reckless way of getting to the truth. I have read emails and comments sent to him by very upset men, many threatening in nature, all because he has finally brought the abusive nature of some to the fore front. The evil, manupulating and visious ways of what Brian would call the little men is out in the open for all to see. The little men were people that had to control the lives of there family and partners through the visious physical control (beatings) or emotional thrashings that they endoured on a daily basis. Brian must have taken one of the many lessons from our dad, one being - it does not take much a man to hit a women. Coming from a family of six sisters that lesson was not taken lightly by all of my brothers and now passed on to our sons and daughters. It is to bad that others can't live by that simple rule of life. Society no longer permits that type of behaviour. Brian was a man that was a loving, compassionate man with extremly high values. He worked hard to help people that were involved in bad relationships and in thier words had no way out. He wanted people that would subject others to unthinkable horror (as he eluded to in Life with Billy)to be held responsible for their actions. Brian has been trying to educate people on the effects of domestic related CRIMES for a long time. He hoped as I do to change the way of thinking of law makers, judges and just anyone that will slow down the extensive damage being done to the lives of so many. Brians private life always involved his beautiful wife Nancy, family and friends. Any one that new him or met him probably will never forget him. He was my brother and truly my best friend. I now have to call on Brians best friend who he called his brother, Doug Bradford, to fill his boots. Doug is a brother to all of my family. He has been around all of our family since the day most of us were born. A Godfather to my sister and all of our children call him Uncle Doug. It was a very fun and comical time if you were lucky enough to be around when the two of them were in the same room. It did not matter where (a house, a car or in the basement of a house) it was hilarous and you new when you arrived you would have a fun day. I will miss my brother so much - but God willing I will see him again. Levis Vallee
