I wonder if Beena isn't answering messages - it could be that Brian isn't allowed to use his phone. It used to be the case in some hospitals.
Maybe his battery is flat and Beena can't find the charger ….

I did know that, when they sent him home, they couldn't do any more for him but didn't realise the end would come so quickly. By today's standards, just a young guy. At least his suffering wasn't prolonged unnecessarily.
I only ever met Brian once - during the Kernow/YMR exhibition many years ago but we frequently corresponded - he was such a very decent chap - someone who really made an impression and someone you'd be delighted to call your friend. He will genuinely be missed by all who had any kind of dealings with him. Certainly his passing has had a big impact on me today.
Our thoughts and sincerest condolences go out to poor Beena. At times like this, one feels so helpless.
There really is very little justice in this world.
RIP dear Brian.

You are a kind and respectful gentleman Brian. Rest easy.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)

I don’t think I can add anything to Peter’s comments above. Brian and myself had kept in occasional contact and we met several times. I shall remember the first visit to his then home and the fullness of the Tywarnhayle & Perranzabuloe Railway. There were tracks, wires and trains everywhere.
It was on that visit that I also first met Henry Parrot, the African Grey (I think he was) from which Brian took his then nickname.
Rest in Peace my friend. The worlds of pond-building and DCC modelling will be the poorer for you passing. My best wishes and kind thoughts also to Beena

I knew he wasnt well but he was so positive about everything I never expected it to be so quick.
We never met but he was a genuine internet friend and I will miss him greatly. He was a super guy, very knowledgeable and supportive.
My condolences to his partner Beena….
Rest in Peace my friend
