We used to play on Strathcona St as young boys and I have not seen twins for 70+ years. Looking through old papers saw the Obit Best to Barry and family - Posted by: Paul Hough (boyhood friend) on: Mar 05, 2017

I would like to extend my condolences and sympathies to the Arnason family. I worked with Brian when I first began with the Province of Manitoba back in the late "80's. Brian was just the greatest guy and a terrific boss. I will always remember Brian for his kindness and generosity. The guy was always smiling, laughing and he was great fun to play a practical joke on. I came upon this notice so his passing and am deeply sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Kelly Smith (co-worker) on: Jan 16, 2017

Dear Shawn and family, so saddened to hear of Brian's passing! Such a lovely man, always a smile when he saw us. He was a big part of the Pioneer club. I can see him so clearly coming to the kitchen (where I worked), asking "What's for lunch"! He and Marlene will be together now. We definitely will see you at the club in March. Please know we are thinking of you at this sad time. Sincerely, Pat and Charlie Klapecki - Posted by: Pat and charlie Klapecki (Friend) on: Dec 29, 2016

I was deeply saddened to read of Brian's passing. Brian hired me for my first job working for him in the Finance and Administration branch of the Attorney Generals's Department way back in 1977. He was a great person to work for and someone who showed a great deal of kindness and consideration to me as a young mom returning to the workforce. I have never forgot his importance in my career, which spanned over 35 years with the Justice Department. I remember how much he loved his family and I wish to express my deepest condolences to all of you. - Posted by: Marcia Ewatski (Co-worker) on: Dec 28, 2016
