It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of our esteemed honorary member, Brian Smyth.
Brian was a long-standing member of the NIAAS, and was a former Treasurer and Secretary.
His enthusiasm and curiosity about all aspects of life was an example to us all.
He never let his long-standing illness get him down. It is often said that people fight against illness. Brian didn't, he just ignored it, and got on with things. He played golf, sailed in his canoe, and went off on trips with his wife in their motor-home right up until the last couple of months.
He was always the first to ask questions at our meetings, He was one of our most regular attendees, and hated missing a meeting.
Brian will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.
We all count ourselves lucky and privileged to have known him, and to have called him a friend.
