Dearest Jane. I was reminiscing today, as I do more so with each passing year, and looked into whether or not you had any online presence. Unfortunately, I was met with Brian’s obituary.
I am so very sorry for your loss.
Memories of the dynamic ‘Archibald/McMillan Duo’, some 50 years since their origin, always bring a smile to mind. I am so very thankful for this treasure trove of recollections and hope that this ‘light’ that I, and undoubtedly so many others had the privilege to see in Brian, will live on in you and yours as you move forward in your lives.

Our sympathy to Jane and the McMillan family on the sudden and sad passing of Brian. I had the pleasure of working with Brian in various roles. The two main roles were Chair of Holland College Board of Governors and Co Chair of the Holland College Capital Campaign. Brian was a pleasure to work with. He was positive, enthusiastic and committed. The message from the Holland College Board of Directors fully explains who Brian was. He lived for his family, Holland College, and the Community at large. Brian will be sorely missed by those who knew him and those who were affected by his efforts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Brian was a wonderful ambassador for Holland College. When our daughter met him by chance in Charlottetown, a few years ago, he took the time to talk to her about options for future education. We were impressed.

Dear Jane,
We were so sorry to hear of Brian's sudden passing - our hearts go out to you and your family. He was so proud of you, Amy, Megan and Matt - he'd always have photos to show and a story or two to tell (especially of the grandkids). As accomplished as he was professionally, he took his greatest pride in being a husband, father, grandfather and friend. Please know we are thinking of you all.
Our deepest condolences.

Be brave as you deal with this unexpected loss,as he would want you all to be. May he Rest in Peace.

Sending my condolences to the McMillan family. I got to know Brian while I was in Alberta and met him while he was hosting Friends of Holland College functions. He always took the time to ask about family, a genuine interest ( as well as taking time to encourage me to get my kids to go to Holland College!, you got one of two Brian!). Always admired his vision and energy and very saddened by the news of his passing. Sending wishes of comfort and support to the McMillan family during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to the McMillan family. I got to spend a lot of time with Brian travelling with him between Sackville and Charlottetown as we both started at Holland College (he as an administrator and I as a student). He was generous and supportive personally and I got to see first hand his many contributions to the college.

I first met Brian at MTA in 1970. Brian had a twinkle in his eye that was irresistible. It made you want to engage in whatever he was proposing. He was a born leader. I remember a young gifted man, so full of promise and eager to make his mark on the world. And that he did! So many wonderful memories are flooding in - too many to recount. I hope you can take solace in knowing that it was a life well lived. He will be greatly missed by those whose lives he touched. Please know that you have my sincere condolences for your loss.
