On behalf of the Neutens family… we are so sorry to hear of Brian’s passing. Brian was a great human and member of the Ridgetown community and beyond. I recall the many stories told during visits between Brian and dad (Henry), and in dad’s latter years Brian was a great cousin and friend, which will always be remembered and appreciated. Our condolences and friendship always to Toni, Amanda, and the rest of the Bulckaert family.

Toni & Amanda,
Our sincere condolences on the passing of Brian.
He was one of the kindest and friendliest people
we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. His generosity in helping others,
either from his own thoughtfulness, or through his business, was an admirable quality that was easily
recognizable when in conversation with him. He was truly a very special person.
May all your fond memories of Brian comfort you as time moves on.
God bless.

Dear Toni and Amanda,
We are sorry for your loss. Uncle Brian always had smiles and stories. I remember being amazed by all the fun and new things you all collected that he told us about when we would gather for holiday meals at your house. Uncle Brian was a great fan of ring bologna and made a mean rib recipe - which we still use. More recently, he showed us around his workshop with a twinkle in his eye.
Thinking of you both.
With love,
Wendy (and Henry, Gabriel, Miranna, Jennaya, Isabelle, Naomi, Abigail)

Dear Evonne, Toni and Amanda, Allan and Shelley and family, Gary and I wish to send you our sincere condolences, thoughts and prayers. Brian, (Baby Beau as he was fondly called at S. S. #16 Howard, Clark's), was a good guy. So many fond memories of him and Allan at school, playing baseball and later as a fellow business owner. Brian was enthusiastic about the August 12th RDHS Reunion and was planning to attend with Toni. Unfortunately, illness prevented it. His quiet and calm nature impressed me from grade school until the last time I talked with him. Brian will be missed BUT take consultation in the fact that he is out of pain and done with the trials and tribulations of his physical life. Heaven gained another Angel. May Brian Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.
