Brian Lawless

Following a brief illness Brian was admitted to Blackburn Royal Hospital on 12th November and sadly died on 14th November 2021. Brian, aged 88 years of Great Harwood, was a devoted, loving husband to Maureen, loving brother to his sister Margaret and loving father to Darran and Peter (recently deceased).

Brian grew up on St Hubert’s Rd and also went to school at St Hubert’s. Brian undertook his national service as an electrician in the RAF – 21 Flight – D Squadron in 1955 and then spent his whole life as an electrician working throughout Lancashire. In later years Peter joined him in the family business and Brian continued working well into his 70s having built a loyal and grateful customer base with many becoming good friends . Brian was a lovely gentle man with great wit and impeccable manners and always greeted people with a smile on his face. He loved his sport, especially football, following Blackburn Rovers all his life with both his sons by his side, he also loved cricket especially following Rishton for many years. He loved spending time in his garden and was especially proud of his roses and flower beds and would regularly stop to chat with friends and passers-by at his home on Cliffe Lane where he lived for over 40years. Brian enjoyed trips to the Lake District and further afield but was also equally happy at home and in some of his favourite places throughout the Ribble Valley with family and friends. He was a private, warm, humorous and highly regarded friend to so many people.

He will be sorely missed by all those that knew him and will never be forgotten.

So sad to have lost my wonderful neighbour of 45 years. Brian fastidiously and busily worked around his home and garden – his source of pride of course. May he now rest in peace.
