Brian was one of my dad's closest friends (Roland Blouin) for as long as I can remember, and I am so sad to hear of his passing. I have many fond memories hanging out at his place on Grassie when I was young, and going on camping trips together. I know him and my dad are together riding motorbikes and snowmobiles in the sky.

I first met "Primer" when we both worked at the MTS Ellice work centre back in the 70's. We had a common interest in motocross bikes and spent some time riding the North Star trails together with other MTS buddies. Those were good times and Brian was an excellent guy to be around. Always positve and helpfull. Rest in Peace

At a young age, I became friends with Brian's nephew Eric. My earliest memories and conversations with Eric in those days were generally about his collection of Hardy Boy books, Can Am motorcycles, and most of all his uncle Brian. As we grew up, I was fortunate to get to know the Priemski family, and especially Eric's very cool uncle Brian I had heard so much about. In time, it became a privilege for me to call him uncle Brian as well. Many of my favorite memories as a teenager were hanging out with Eric at uncle Brian's place. I was always welcome and had great time with his family and friends on countless occasions. One of my favorite memory's was a summer time party at uncle Brian's place. The evening started with a large tree that had been cut down, carefully piled up in the backyard and 5 gallons of gasoline. It was literally great balls of fire! What a way to start the evening. Eric and I were allowed and encouraged to take uncle Brian's dirt bikes out and ride in the gravel pits around Bird's Hill and weekend camping trips to Albert Beach to ride the trails. This how I learned to ride a motorcycle. Because of Brian and Eric's influence in my life, trail riding became and activity I continued through my life and continue to do with my children. Uncle Brian, thank you so much for your kindness, generosity.

I remember Brian from back in the '80's as an installer. We worked a job in the old Winnipeg Arena. Brian was an excellent installer. A very nice man. Extremely helpful. And very calm to work with.
my condolences to his friends and family.
Brian you were the best!!!

My uncle Brian was a huge part of my life as I didn't have a dad and he was always there for me. Teaching me to skate, ride dirtbikes and snowmobiles, repairs, right thru my adulthood as we enjoyed our time together and on our street bike trips.
Some of my favorite times were at his place on grassie in wpg with him and Linette. We had so many of his MTS buddies and others come by including late nite surprises. He was so welcoming and enjoyed the art of conversation with so many unique people. He was a good listener, always there for me without judgement and is deeply missed.
