Brian Frederick Dudley Those of you who know Brian knew he lived life to the full. He was the most giving person I’ve ever known. His friends and family were the most important thing to him. Only ever having to pick up the phone and he'd be there for you. Brian Frederick Dudley was born on 2nd June 1938 in London. He was the Second child of Bill and Olive.

Following Brian's move to Spain he was made an honorary member of the Ethelbert Lodge in Herne Bay and is currently a member of four lodges here in Spain. Throughout this time Brian was known for his hard work in the administration and dedication to the Masonic cause. I asked family and friends to tell me what they remember most about Brian. There are so many good memories. Going to the pub with grandad in his slippers. Playing cricket in Chestfield. His "Mega Spanish chicken" the Surprise swimming pool for grandchildren one summer. Jan and Rich's honeymoon and anniversary visits where we where always made to feel welcome and part of Brian's family. One that I remember in particular relates to Brian's Grand Prix approach to driving!! Those of you who know him know well are aware he passed his driving test at the Stirling Moss school of Driving. On this particular day Brian offered to drive his granddaughter Megan and a friend to to maths class. Following the running of two red lights traversing a round about the wrong way, one stop for refuelling, a stop for a change of tyres, Megan arrived safe and in pole position for her lesson and culminated in a comment from her very nervous friend "Your granddad is a good driver, are we are getting the bus home?" The number One bus home from Brighton that day was the best bus Journey home ever. Despite grandad's driving, Megan achieved a grade grade B in her GCSE. There so many other things that can be said about Brian but in summary Brian Dudley was a remarkable man, who was devoted to his loved ones, friends and family who will be missed terribly by all.
