May 26, 2021– Calgary, Alberta

Brian Buckley, beloved husband of Pauline Buckley (nee Landry) of Millarville, AB, passed away, Wednesday, May 26, 2021, at the age of 75 years.

Brian was born in Liverpool England on July 7, 1945, and immigrated to London, ON with his parents in 1948.  Brian worked for General Motors Diesel Division in London for thirty-two years.

Brian met his future wife Pauline on a trip to visit his family in Calgary in 1973. They had a long- lasting friendship and finally married on August 8, 1998.  They had a long-distance relationship until Brian retired in 2002 and moved to Alberta.

Brian had many interests including motorcycle dirt track racing, kayaking, and camping. He was also a talented mechanic and wood worker.  Brian converted an old bread van into his first camper and he built many things such as garden sheds and furniture.  He enjoyed doing scroll work and he often placed first for his work at the annual Millarville Fair. Brian's shop was well stocked with every tool and gadget. If the shop door was open, you could often find the neighbours visiting with him and getting advice. Brian was an avid NASCAR fan. One year, Brian and Polly packed up the Southwinds RV and went to Fontana, CA to enjoy the races.

Besides his loving wife Pauline, Brian is survived by his two daughters, Mary Ann Pepper of London Ontario, and Lisa Conn (Ian) of Victoria BC; son Kenny Buckley (Janet), and three grandchildren, Taylor, Jordon, and Ruth, of Victoria BC.

Brian was predeceased by his father Ernest Buckley and his mother Betty Buckley.
