It has often been said that the good die young, this could have been truthfully said of Brian Pilgrim twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bonnell Pilgrim of Carbonear.
Brian was born with a heart ailment. At the age of five he had an operation which was successful and which enabled him to get around and attend school but he was not permitted to take an active part in sports - this he took cheerfully.
He worked hard at school, trying his very best in all that he did. He was a joy to his teachers and a favourite with his classmates. He attended Sunday School and learned the things of God with the same zeal as he did his school work.
On Sept. 30th he returned to Toronto ofr his second operation with the hope that on his return would be able to live a normal life but this was not to be, for on Oct. 23rd, nine days after his operation he passed away.
His remains were flown home for burial. The funeral took place on Sunday. The services at the home and the Salvation Army Citadel were conducted by Capt. and Mrs. W Wiseman. The Citadel was filled to capacity and the many floral tributes spoke of the esteem in which Brian was held. Interment took place at the S. A. Cemetery.
To the sorrowing parents who flew to Toronto to be with him in his last hours, to his only brother Garfield, his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pilgrim who tenderly guarded him through his short life and to all his relatives we extend deepest sympathy in their sad loss and leave Brian in the care of the Good Sheppard who loved him so dearly that he took him to himself.
