From Graham Brooks on 29/01/2009

I am sorry to hear the sad news of your Dad passing. One of my enduring memories of Hong Kong was your Dad as truly a larger than life character. As a young Army Corporal this was some up-close introduction to the senior service that I have never forgot and I believe he continued in his own particular style beyond his retirement from the Navy. Thank you for letting me know and please accept my condolences for the family. Kind regards Graham Brooks
