Nothing but talent. First class at whatever he made his mind up on doing - Good or bad. Either way always a good man deep down inside. - Posted by: Michael Hoskins (Son) on: Jan 14, 2023

I am saddened to hear of Brian's passing. We played together a lot when we were kids growing up in Altamont. We needed every spare body we could find in order hit the ice or the ball field against other larger towns. Ozzie was always there ready to play. And with his help we usually beat those larger towns and their fancy uniforms! Rest peacefully Ozzie. - Posted by: Stan Marshall (Childhood friend) on: Sep 26, 2016

Just read in the Free Press (Winnipeg) of the passing of Brian. Our deepest condolences to the whole family. We knew Brian in is younger days and have not seen him for many years. The Hoskins family and the Hendersons were all raised in Altamont and all the kids had become great friends. If there is a service where old friends can attend please let us know. Thank-you. - Posted by: Ron and Lorraine Henderson (Friends) on: Sep 23, 2016
