Condolences
My condolences to the Kinder family... I had the opportunity to work with Brian at Touche Ross in Regina for ten years... Brian was one of those partners who was so good with clients and staff. I remember well a dinner party he and Susan hosted for the partners and young CA's who were being promoted to being a manager. Brian was well respected in the community and contributed in many ways. A good guy... he will be missed.

I was fortunate to be Brian's partner when Deloitte and Touche merged in 1990.
His surname was perfect - "kind" "er". He was one of the kindest people I knew. He always had that big grin on his face. He knew everyone in Regina and was always busy but never too busy to help anyone that asked. I used to say that when you asked him to do something for you that you better not change your mind. It was like a bullet being fired from a gun; once you pull the trigger you cannot recall it. Same with Brian, he had it done before you had time to change your mind.
Of all my Deloitte partners and colleagues, Brian was the only one to reach out to me when my mother passed away in 2016. He called me and we had a great chat. I will never forget that call.
Brian touched my life and that of so many others. Nothing I can say will ease your pain, but I am forever sorry for losing someone so special. May your treasured memories be forever held in your heart.
Deepest Condolences to Brian's Family. I fondly remember our relationship as neighbour's and friends. We had a lot in common and I always enjoyed our get-togethers. He will be missed.

My greatest condolences to the family of Brian. So sorry for your loss.
I was a partner in the Prince Albert office when Brian was in Regina and got to know him very well through our work and “meetings”. He was always willing to help with a question when I needed help and advice. I moved to Okotoks seven years ago and remet him at the Calgary Retired Partner meetings. I was happy to give him a ride to these meetings when we were both attending and enjoyed our conversations during our trips to Calgary. I will miss his company.
I know you will miss him but enjoy your great memories of him .

My heartfelt condolences to Brian's family. I met Brian when he was on the Regina Economic Development Authority board and I was a young secretary. I knew little about the business community or economic development. Brian answered my endless questions with patience, sharing his extensive knowledge with me. Brian was a class act - he treated me with the same respect as he did his fellow board members. He was a kind gentleman. I believe my life was richer having known him.
Brian was my older brother. I have lots of memories of us growing up together. We were different from each other but we got along, especially at home. We each had our own group of friends. The names Teddy Wilson, Cameron Duncan McPherson and Terry Farhall come to mind as Brian’s buddies. I don’t think we ever fought even though we slept in the same room for years. We wrestled a lot. Once a little too aggressively where we bashed a hole in our bedroom wall. Mom made us fix it. Did a terrible job of it.
The thing we did most together was play catch in the front yard. Baseball in the spring, football in the fall. We developed pretty good arms. 50 yds with the football was a breeze. We wore out a couple of footballs hitting the asphalt street. We’d throw baseballs until the cover came off. After a while Bri got into golf and I liked to play ball, so he would chip golf balls and I would catch them and throw them back.
We’d listen to hockey games on the radio. Eric Bishop was the announcer. He was so descriptive we would cheer, yell and jump up and down on our beds when Calgary scored.
I don’t know what made us laugh, but often times we would laugh so hard and long that we could hardly breathe and our stomachs would hurt.
The biggest influence he had on me was recommending me for a job at the Columbia Icefields. It was 1969. His company (Touche, Ross, Bailey and Smart) were the auditors for Brewster Transport. He knew Brewster's comptroller quite well and I got the job. I was there for 4 years and this was where I met my wife, Fran. Thank you, Brian.
He was a good man, and a good brother. I was always proud of him.
