Pam 5th February 2010

It doesn't seem like almost 2 years since we got the dreadful news that you had passed away Henry. We were devestated, Ian in particular, as he classed you as his best mate. We wish we could have gone to Sarajevo to be with you on your final journey but it wasn't possible. Instead we raised a drink to you at the time we knew you were being laid to rest. I knew how Amanda must have been feeling as I was expecting Matthew when my mum died suddenly and I was worried about her flying so far but she is her father's daughter and has inherited your stubborness!!! We have so many happy memories of our times together in Germany - and when you have been and stayed with us in Kendal but the German memories are the best. BBQs, camping, parties, getting drunk in our cellar bars in Bielefeld... the list goes on. You were a real mate to Ian and helped him with his career as well as being a bloody good friend to us both. You were a cheeky sod as well, always that sexual innuendo thing going on but none of us took offence, it was all part of Henry. We miss you and on the 18th we will be raising a glass to your enduring memory. Much love, Pam and Ian and family.
