Brian was sadly taken from us whilst he was on his motorbike at the roundabout on Henconner Lane/Butt Lane in West Yorkshire, Leeds.
Hit by an Asda van driver Brian clung on for a week in hospital but sadly passed away on Friday 5th September 2008.
Brian Jay, 70 years old and one of the funniest and most down to earth fella's I have ever had the privilege to know. I got to know him through work although I had known the family for many years.
Brian and I always had a laugh together, Brian always had a good word for me and my family and his smile at work always lit up the place.
I'm not known for saying the nicest of things about many people and when I made any comments at work, I was always guaranteed a sneaky grin from Bri, a smile of agreement or one of those, "I'm not too old to give you a clip round the ear" looks if I made a joke on any particular subject.
Brian amazed me that at 60 when I got to know him he was still whizzing around on a motorbike and as fit if not fitter than most 30 year olds I know.
Bri taught me a few tricks and it's not a cliche when I say his smile and cheeky grin will stay engrained on my memory forever.
