Indeed he will. I only met him once but immediately took to him - if you
remember, Stephen, it was in the Jack Horner along with yourself and
Andrew. I wonder if he ever got to visit the Spanish Bar and the oldest
working jukebox in London. We were thwarted that night.
I will remember him as a genuine, warm-hearted human being and a
talented jewellery designer as well as an excellent POVer. On a lighter
note I will also remember him as being the person who managed to use a
Black Cab with the only driver who had no knowledge of the West End.
Requiescat In Pace

I met him a couple of times more as I am working close to where he
lived. We met up for a drink and a smoke just before Christmas and I
his funeral due to pressure of work.

I will do that Andrel.

Me too, but I'm not very sociable unless I've had a few drinks. And I
just don't drink much these days. Besides, most everybody here seems to
live in the UK...

And I really hope somebody has something better than that to say about
me when I'm gone. o_O

I'd say "he was a diamond geezer", but I don't want to cheapen this...
He did have a sense of humour though.

Through his posts, he looked like a warm fellow and a real gifted artist

I held off on replying till I could think of something to say, more than
just 'He will be missed.' His renders were amongst those that I would
routinely send off to friends and family as examples of what people with
more talent than me can accomplish with these tools. Though I did not
know him outside of these groups, he will be missed.
