I've never met such a generous man in all my time in motorsport. Brian was always an enthusiastic supporter of the sport and the individuals involved at all levels.
I first met Brian back in the mid '70's when my Dad, Olly, was racing and racedays invariably ended in the Kentagon!
He always had a kind word and cheery smile when we bumped into each other in the Paddock over the last 4 decades.
Whenever Brian said Hi or commentated, when I was racing, he would usually call me "Olly" rather than Shaun! I loved that.
His generosity to up and coming commentators shows the real spirit of the man, the world needs more people like him.
We've lost one of our best.
