We won’t dwell on the last three years of his life but on the previous ninety-two years when he was always there for his family, his friends, his colleagues and anybody else with whom he came into contact. He was a perfect gentleman, always standing when a lady entered the room and always offering his seat. He was full of fun, very kind, very knowledgeable and a wonderful man to know. He will be greatly missed.
