Condolences to Julie and family. Plenty of great memories of working with ‘Tiny’. He had a big smile, a big heart and always made you smile. Just a terrific fella.

Tiny, just over 51 years ago we met at the Academy. You were a giant of a man but one of the funniest "blokes" I have known. Memories last forever. Condolences to Julie and girls. R.I.P. "Big Fella".

My best friend at school had a GIANT of a dad both physically and in personality. He took pleasure in scaring me while we watched scary movies and always took an interest in my endeavours. Rest in peace and know you’ll live on forever in the hearts of those you loved fiercely. Thinking of you Kristy and family. Love Lisa Barbuto

Dear Julie,Leigh, Kristy & Sarah my thoughts are with you all at this saddest of times. It's hard to put 50 years of friendship with Brian Francis (Tiny) into words, but a few that immediately come to mind are sincere, honest, reliable, compassionate, hilarious at times and of course that raucous laughter which will forever live on in my mind. Although we caught up a few months ago at Sunshine, I'm terribly disappointed I can't be there tomorrow to pay due respect,celebrate his life and catch up with you all - Les Brown.
