​Brian Track of Kincardine remembered for his constant smile and long lanky wave

Predeceased by his mother, Jacqueline “Jackie “Track; father-in-law, Frank Worden, and uncles, Norm Track and Richard Bourrier.

When summing up someone’s life, there never seems to be the right words to describe all that he was, and did, across the years. So, instead, to say goodbye to Brian, we will try to find some words to express what he meant to us as a dear husband, son, brother, brother-in-law, friend, uncle, nephew, golfer, and friendly neighbourhood fish guy, loved by many.

When we think of him, there are many snapshots that go through our minds, but there are two constants in each and every one - his constant smile and a long lanky wave; from behind the counter as you walked up, from the canoe, atop his bike, one-handed carrying a platter into a family gathering, and walking around the corner to the backyard, to name a few.

At any age, Brian could certainly be described as a kid at heart; this boded well in his role as uncle, building snowmen, playing yard games, Ping-Pong, driveway basketball, as well as trail bike rides and canoe adventures, although his love of adventure and fun was not saved only for this role but extended to his friendships and time with his brothers.

When we think of where Brian was happiest, his wife was by his side. On a Saturday morning, with an off-hand, ‘Wanna go for a drive?’ Off they would go, to visit waterfalls, walk trails, and just enjoy being together. We also, inevitably, picture anywhere outdoors - in the woods, floating the Saugeen, lakeside, golf course and at the Lazy T camp.

When reflecting on some of the other things that brought him joy, we are left thinking of a love of reading, primarily biographies and history, an interest shared with his dad, Roy, and a love of animals. The ultimate compliment to one’s character is the judgement of animals, and Brian was stamped with that approval over and over, most recently by his little shadow, Sparrow. There can be no higher praise speaking to his genuine, good nature and positive energy.

Now, although we are left overflowing with all the love we weren’t given the time to share with you, we find comfort in our hope that you were greeted by your mom, that big old goof, Webster, and Lucy.

Chrissie and Brian always said, when leaving one another, one said “forever” and the other said “always.”

“I love you forever, I miss you for always.”

Today, this feels true for a lot of us.

A private graveside service to honour Brian’s life, will be held in the spring at the Kincardine Cemetery.

If so desired, memorial donations to Bayfield Forgotten Felines, would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
