McCleery (r) looked his
typical cheerful self as he chatted with Dave Hansman (l) and Uncle Al at the 2006 Ontarios.
One of our most beloved
Wayfarers, Brian McCleery, passed away this past week after a long
battle with a brain tumor. Our condolences to his wife, Doris, and to
Brian's family.
A mainstay of the Ottawa Wayfarer Fleet, Brian was a fine sailor who made every regatta he came to more fun for the rest of us with his ever cheerful presence. More photos/stories here. You will be sorely missed, Brian. Thanks for leaving us a huge store of wonderful memories that will keep us remembering you as fondly as any Wayfarer who ever sailed. I myself can hope for nothing better than that I will join you up above when my time comes. I know you'll have the rum bottle and the humorous stories ready. With much love, Uncle Al (W3854) McCLEERY, Brian Alexander After a courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday, April 22, 2008, age 74 years. Beloved husband of Doris (Robins).
