    Brion was an older brother to me. My eldest brother Dave was best friends with him. He lived with us for a spell in the 70's and i will never forget those times. Tough on the outside yet a huge heart on the inside. Made me a set of goaltender pads from jeans and foam. Unbelievable! Played many road hockey games wearing those pads. We played board games and table hockey till all hours of the night. A very special person. You are missed and love Brion Dale

    Almost 13 years since you have been gone! Jan 30, 2006 Still seems like yesterday!! You made so many changes in our community! Wonder what it would be like if you were still here? I remember you always bringing me gifts from your travels, until you said if you want things from those places? You go there yourself, hence the start of my traveling! Thank you dear brother!! Love your baby sister Susan.

    My admiration for Brion´s message, it is far much about wisdom, so many facts we do not stop to think about anymore. Truly a film all medical students need to see in order to understand the healers attitude more than just the medicine based evidence attitude.

    Great to see the late Brion again, despite his terrible situation. He gave us a great gift. Passing this to some Med students who should really benefit from his insights.

    I have watched this video a number of times with nursing students. We've often wondered how Brion is now. After reading Tiffany's post I am assuming that Brion has lost his battle? He was an inspiration!

    I was very close to Brion, so when I watch this i feel sad, he is truly missed and I wish i had the chance to say goodbye. Brion was so gifted and talented and his dark sense of humor rubbed off on me and im glad for it, it made me strong and who i am today. I'm so lucky to have had Brion be a part of my whole life. if only he knew how much that mattered to me...

    This film is an eye opener. The view of thinking Diabetes as a gift... wonderful. I now have a way that leads. Thank you.
