My condolences to all of you. Brian and Lois were so incredibly influential in my passage through the adolescent years. As one of the "adopted teens" from the "Mapes", I spent many wonderful days and nights in the Little home. Blessings to all. - Posted by: Karen Ball (Friend) on: Jun 02, 2015

My Dad was a Shell bulk fuel agent & Brian was his rep. We enjoyed his visits very much, with many of them involving a game (or several) of cribbage.

How saddened to hear of Mr. Little's passing. I had the awesome privilege of being babysitter, friend and neighbor on Harold in Transcona. I have the most wonderful memories of Lois, Brian and dear Christopher and Geoffrey unfortunately I never met Patrick. Brian and Lois so wonderfully gave of their time and heart to the Maple Leaf Community Club in Transcona and the young teenagers that they included us in their family. I am so sorry for your loss as Mr. Little was a genuine gentlemen. My prayers and thoughts are with you in the loss of this dear man. I am sorry I did not know of Lois and Christopher's passing. My sincerest condolences to you all as a teenager they were just so kind and fun to be with. Love to you all - Posted by: Carol Chudley(Sward) (friend (babysiter)) on: May 30, 2015

Our condolences to Ann, Geoffrey and Patrick. Brian was a wonderful friend. He was a major player at Heritage Victoria C.C. The memories of playing bridge in his kitchen, working with the Happy Cooker and playing many games of racquet ball will be fondly remembered. Wouldn't it be great to have reruns of your TV show "The Happy Cooker" shown again? Rest in Peace friend, you will not be forgotten. Love to the family from Joan and Ken - Posted by: Joan and Ken Einarson (Friends) on: May 30, 2015
