Absolutely one of my most favourite teachers. Rest peacefully, Mr. Brewer!!! My condolences to your family.

He will always be “Mr. Brewer” to us and one of those teacher gems — kind, compassionate and competent — and always a pleasure to meet. Our sympathy to the family for the loss of a dear husband, father, grandfather and, most of all, steadfast friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Colins passing. “Mr Bewer” was my favourite Gr. 7 teacher at McGillivray Central.
Baseball games at Lieury were never the same without his “0ut” calls. He was the fairest and sternest ump they had. Coliin will be missed in so many ways. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

Lois and family,
It is with great sadness that I hear of Colin’s passing.
I first met Colin as a fellow teacher at Craigwood in Ailsa Craig back in the early 1980s. As a teacher of troubled teens, Colin was caring, compassionate and highly competent. As part of a close-knit staff of educators, Colin was a consummate team player, always supportive of his colleagues. He brought good humour, optimism, maturity and sound judgement to challenging work.
In difficult times Colin was there for you as a friend; you could always count on him. Colin was tireless in his commitment to community and in a selfless, humble way devoted countless hours to making things better for so many, even when facing challenges himself. He was an excellent role model.
Colin’s unwavering devotion to his beloved Leafs is typical of his steadfast, loyal nature and when the ‘Buds’ finally win the Cup again, we know he’ll be smiling. My heartfelt condolences to you.

Terry and Kathy NOYES

Upon hearing of Mr. Brewer’s passing, I was immediately transported back in time to the ball diamond. From his signature “OUT!” call from behind the plate to the time he kicked me out of the ballpark for foul language. Not only was i ejected from the game but Mr. Brewer tossed me from the PARK!! In the middle of nowhere. I sure did deserved it.
Mr. Brewer always set expectations and followed up on them. I remember positively slinking into his classroom the next morning, embarassed at my behaviour and armed with an apology note. As always, Mr. Brewer was quick to forgive after a gentle reminder that anything nearing the baseball field meltdown in the classroom would not be tolerated. Funny, engaging and dedicated he made a lasting impression on my public school experience.
May his family and friends find peace after his passing and may he rest in peace.

We are very sorry to hear of your loss and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. May your cherished memories give you comfort now and for many years to come.
Greg and Ettie Ramsay

Dear Lois and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Colin’s (Mr. Brewer) passing. He truly was with out a doubt one of the best teachers my brother and I had. He had such a passion for teaching and truly cared for his students. He had such a presence in the community and was seen as a hero through so many people’s eyes. We cherish the memories we had of him and the special conversations we had at church barbecues where we reminisced about our shenanigans at McGillivray Central School. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear of Colin’s passing. He always was so thoughtful and thinking of others when he was suffering himself.
