Brian's Story

H.A. Halbert grad in '69, finished R.H. King in '74, finished Seneca College in '78. Spent 1 year at Ontario Hydro in System Operations, then started at CIBC in '79 in Toronto as an entry level programmer. Almost 23 years later I get "the package" in Sept 2002. Met a lot of incredible people and had a great ride but in the end I was glad it was over. Tried a couple of different ventures until CIBC came calling again in February 2004. I've been back on contract as an I.T. consultant for almost 6 years now. In '77 I met the most wonderful lady in the world at Seneca. Heather was from Penetang and we got married in Sept '79. Heather was in I.T. like me and there were many, many late nights and early mornings...on-call support was tiring at times. After a few years of trips, eating out and doing what we wanted to do in March '85 we were blessed with our first daughter....Debi. Then in June '87 our son Chris arrived, followed by another daughter Jackie in '92 and finally our baby Katie in '94. In between all there we lived in Aurora and Barrie, finally re-locating back to Penetang in '98. I fell in love with Penetang the first...Expand for more
time I took Heather home while we were dating at Seneca. It was a natural move for all of us. The kids could walk the 2 blocks to their school and I was fortunate to have a great work-from-home arrangement at that time. After we moved to Penetang our oldest daughter got ill and after almost a 10 year battle with numerous ailments but never a diagnosed illness, Debi passed away at home in September 2007. We all still take comfort in the fact that she is finally at peace and free of the pain but it's been a tough adjustment for all of us left behind. We all pay our repsects to Debi by living by her favorite saying....Dream like you'll live forever, Live like you'll die tomorrow. I keep busy these days with the job in Toronto, living with my son Chris while I'm in Toronto. When I'm not in Toronto we've totally renovated our house and continue to work away at it. We're on the home stretch now with the kitchen the "big thing" to finish. For something different I continue to build pine furniture as a hobby which I've done since my days at Seneca. Heather and I just celebrated our 30th anniversary and ther will be many more I'm sure.
