Very saddened to hear of Brian's passing. In the first week of August, we had a symposium, organised to honour the scientific life of Trevor Platt. On that occasion, Heather Bouman called and chatted with Brian, and I also asked her to convey my best regards to him. Heather told us that Brian sounded great, just his usual old self, and we were all elated. Brian was very much in our minds in those days, as someone who was such an integral part of Trevor's and my scientific career, and of the whole Biological Oceanography group, in fact. We were none of us prepared for the sad news that came right afterwards. Brian was a lovely person, immensely capable, and always ready to help us all. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
