From Roger Hurley 'Your Dad, My Friend'
Created by Helen 8 years ago
I am saddened to receive
your news. I liked your Dad hugely and had enormous respect for his
extensive knowledge, quiet professionalism and sheer cleverness! He
really was a key member of my “team” and someone I could discuss the wackiest
of ideas with. I’m glad I kept him excited these last few years, and like
to think he was a Pal. We are hopeful our project will continue one way
or another, and John’s experience, inventiveness and wise counsel will be sorely
missed.
I had no idea he was a
twin! I was born and brought up in Edinburgh too, as you may know but,
sadly, Edinburgh on the 22nd isn’t going to be possible for me Helen. I
will be thinking of him then, though, as I am now.
I lost my Dad 10 months
ago, again not unexpectedly, so I know where you are. Please accept my
warm condolences.
