I speak on behalf of the entire Taft family, Noel and his brothers will always recall how your dad was akways cool, relaxed and wonderful to everyone who frequented your home whilst you were growing up. I fondly remember the fun parties where Uncle Brian would be dancing in the circle and give the young men a run for their money. We’re thinking of you in your hour of grief. The kind, selfless nature of your father made him a joy to be around. He and Aunty Una is an example of a strong beautiful marriage. We love you Uncle Brian, you will forever be missed.

Dear Francis Family

Your Pa was a wonderful man, always so friendly & welcoming. He will be missed.
💞 Our condolences.

RIP Pa Brian

Dear Garth and family. Your father’s funeral was so beautiful! I can’t begin to tell you just how much it meant to me to be able to witness it. I only wish I could've been there in person to hold you tight, to let you know how much I love you. Thinking of you and your family. I pray God grants you strength and peace in the knowledge that your dad is with our Lord, God, Jesus Christ. Rest in eternal peace uncle Brian xx

Garthy, Ashley Gaynor and Huey,
My thoughts are with you as you prepare to lay your dad to rest. I loved your dad, he was a wonderful man and human being. You guys are who you are because of him and your mother of course. You have inherited some of his character traits and some of his ways " open warm honest decent fun loving always smiling demeanour" would have been taught by way of his example.!
Go forward with pride and keep his memory alive in continuing to live his example
All the best
William Davy

To Dad, Pops, Pa ... We are going to miss you so much. You were an inspiration to all of us. You were so loved by our friends - you made them feel part of our family. And it's those values of love and respect that will live in us forever. Everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you and who interacted with you will attest to the fact you were an awesome, fun-loving person who will be sorely missed by all. With all our love from Garth, Cindy, Gabby and Cam.

I wish I could have spent more time with you, learn to know you more. Even in the short amount of time we could spend together, you made me feel like I am part of the family. I see now more than ever how much your family loves you. I know you are with God now, and I know I will have a lot of other opportunities to discuss with you when the time will come. We will miss you...

Daddy, my hero, my first love, my greatest supporter, I will miss you so much. I will forever treasure the bond we shared, the closeness of a father and his daughter was evident in our relationship, I looked up to you for so many reasons. You have instilled in me very strong values, and I will continue to make you proud. I know you are in a good place, and with Jesus, I draw strength from this. Rest In Peace my beloved Dad. Love you forever. Your Baby❤️

To my precious Dad!! You've been an inspiration to me all my life. In the same doing also to my friends, colleagues, my immediate family and in-laws. I will miss you terribly but have so many good memories that it may help to ease the pain. Yes, I'm jealous that you're not with us physically anymore but I know in my heart that you're with your spiritual family and more than happy. Love you lots Dad.
