Born in Sydney on July 30, 1958, Brian was the oldest son of his predeceased parents Henry ‘Harry’ and Veronica ‘Bonnie’ (Gillis) Tobin. Better known as ‘Bro’, ‘Uncle Bro’ or ‘Rabbit’, Brian was an avid outdoorsman and a longtime member of the Cape Breton Search & Rescue. He enjoyed many outdoor activities including scuba diving, swimming, hiking and taking long walks throughout the community he loved. Brian was a proud Cape Bretoner through and through. An easy-going gentleman; he was well read with a great wit, who enjoyed a hot cup of tea and a piece of pie. Brian will be missed every day and lovingly remembered by his sons, Stephen, Eric (Blaire) and Adam (Corinne). Brian will be fondly missed by siblings, Paul, Colleen, Karen (David), Kevin (Corinne), along with nephews and nieces, Christopher, Bonnie-Jean, Gavin, Sam, Harrison and Ellen.
