Dear Paul, We were very sad to receive your email but thank you for letting us know the sad news. Your father was a great influence on me and there is little doubt that growing up messing around on building sites was a key factor in my becoming a Surveyor and being involved with buildings throughout my career. I always enjoyed the time spent at your house and the swimming pool , not least its construction ! Your parents were always most generous and kind to us and I remember enjoying the Regal feeling of being in your Dad’s cars ! Thank you so much for bringing your parents to Dad’s 90th in Axminster. It was a great day and wonderful that we could all get together. I enjoyed reminiscing with your Dad and so pleased to have had that opportunity. I am afraid we will not make it to the funeral, but please accept our condolences, and pass on the same to your Mum. With fond memories of Alf, Alan With fond memories of Alf, Alan
