He was passionate about safety and training and was always ready to demonstrate his new products and ideas and was bitterly disappointed at last year’s Vertikal Days when he was unable to demonstrate his emergency escape descent control device for boom lifts.
His indomitable spirit and particular style will be missed.
The family has asked the details of the funeral be passed on for those wishing to pay their respects. It will take place on Saturday 13th March 2010 at 11am at:
Medway Crematorium
