Though I only knew him for a short while, Mr. Palmer expressed the utmost kindness and patience towards me. As my employer & supervisor of Tutor Doctor, he was always respectful and helpful even when I made silly errors on my paperwork. At a festival a few summers back in Victoria Park, I remember him laughing and smiling while his daughters danced around in the Tutor Doctor mascot.
To Allison, Shannon, & Melissa, you will be in my thoughts during your time of grief. I’m sorry for your loss <3
I only knew Brian for a short while having met him during the most recent President’s Circle trip. I enjoyed his company and he was very proud of his accomplishments. Brian will be missed by his family, friends (new and old) and the entire TD family! My heartfelt condolences on your loss.

My sincere sympathy to the entire Palmer family on the passing of Brian. Brian was a kind man and I got to know him during Growth Coach. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
I only had the opportunity to speak with Brian a few times, but they were always a pleasure. The most recent occasion was when we were paired together during a Tutor Doctor business mentoring session just a few weeks ago, and his gentle and kindly nature, backed up with many years of experience always shone through. His willingness to share knowledge and his consideration for and of others is my lasting memory of this true “gentleman”.
My thoughts are with the family at this sad time.
Brian was a thoughtful and wonderful person — and will be missed beyond words. Wishing the Palmer family peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
He will forever be a part of the Tutor Doctor family.
Dear Melissa & Alison, our heartiest condolences on Brian.
I always heard great things about Him, and corroborated them when I just had the great opportunity to be in a recent Boot Camp Group with Him.
I am sure He is in a much better place than us. You should feel very proud of Him, because his legacy will have a profound transcendence.

Les mots me manquent pour soulager votre chagrin et sentiments d’impuissance. Mais je sais que Dieu pourra vous apaiser puisqu’il est le Père des tendres miséricordes et le Dieu de toute consolation. Il a promis de restaurer le Paradis ; alors, les humains auront la possibilité de vivre sans fin, sans problèmes, accidents, maladies, ni même la mort. En plus, Dieu ressuscitera des millions d’êtres chers. (Psaume 37:29 ; Révélation 21:3,4 ; Jean 6 :40.) Jusqu’à ce que ce jour arrive, que notre Seigneur Jésus Christ et Jéhovah Dieu notre Père, consolent vos cœurs et vous affermissent en toute action et parole qui soient bonnes.
