Excerpts:
Gardeners will remember Brian as the man who invented Kozy Coats, which allowed tomatoes to be planted outside as much as two months earlier in some places. He also created the Sea Magic brand as a fertilizer booster in Canada and the United States. He sold his company some years ago, but the products are still sold by many retailers and on the Internet.
Readers of the Local Gardener series of magazines will remember Brian for his entertaining stories, his light touch with his pieces which were often laced with humour. He was a great favourite at trade shows and on the garden speaking circuit.
Racing was just one facet of Brian’s multidimensional life. In the gardening world, he was affectionately known as “Mr. Tomato” and gained recognition for his “Kozy-Coats” plant protection product. He collaborated with Kevin Twomey of T&T Seeds, appeared on “The Manitoba Gardener” radio show on CJOB, and wrote articles for editor Dorothy Dobbie for a magazine of the same name. His landscaping talents turned his modest Kilbride Avenue yard into such a showpiece that it attracted bus tours of garden enthusiasts.
Remarkably, even in his final summer, Brian completed a full landscaping job single-handedly, working with 30-pound rolls of sod despite his advancing age.
