I am so saddened to learn of Brian's passing. Brian was a close friend while I lived in Cape Breton and we shared many things through Kinsmen, his "No Bully" campaign for Deputy Governor, many a hockey game and his memorable hole in one at Dundee with an easy 3 wood! We kept in touch since leaving CB and I will miss those random messages. Brian was a very passionate man and gave everything to any cause he believed in. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to Stephanie and family. If I were not out of the province this weekend I would be at his service.

Brian was my Ist "Prince Charming". We attended St. Francis Xavier University, Sydney Campus at the same time, and starred in Harry Boardmore's fabulous presentation of "Cinderella", a play that delighted the minds and imaginations of so many local area children. He was a handsome, kind and gentle man, both on and off the stage, and a pleasure to work with. God rest your beautiful soul, Brian. My deepest condolences to all the Slaney family. Sincerely, Mary Thorne

Our families were shared a beautiful friendship when I was growing up and Brian would come out to Glace Bay to stay with us for a week or so in summertime to hang with my brother. We moved to Ontario fir many years,but after moving back my brother was able to reconnect with Brian and we all visited back and forth a few times. Was shocked to hear of his passing...much condolences to family especially his daughter .

We are very saddened to hear of Brian’s passing. Brian was a man who cared deeply about the well being of others and volunteered to help his community wherever he saw a need. He was a man who picked the side of the powerless over the powerful every time there was an issue to deal with in Cape Breton. He was hard working, capable and articulate and highly respected by all who knew him. I can not be at his service because I am out of province but our thoughts and prayers are with his family. John, Alana and Tarah Morgan

Dear Stephanie, I went to school with Brian but didn't get to know him well until he became our neighbor. The more time you spent at our house Steph, the more we got to know him. We even had trips to Halifax and Margaree having lots of laughs and of course Brian and Kevin getting in a bit of trouble. Great neighbor, great friend. RIP Brian Kevin and Natalie

I first met Brian when he became involved in the NSNDP with his 2 amigos Allie Grant and Donnie McRae and have stayed in contact with him over the many years that have passed. Brian was a true friend who was always available for advice and encouragement whenever anyone asked for it. His friendship and loyalty will be sadly missed by myself and I am sure the many hundreds of other friends he made during his journey through life. Another angle has gained his wings. God speed my dear and faithful friend
