Alastair - I often wonder where you are now, are you watching us? I am afraid I have lost my religion these days, I lean more towards Buddhism and their principles. I meditate to attempt to increase my mental strength and develop an inner calm and stability, or I would just die of grief and shame of this world. 

I find I can no longer believe in a god who allows such terrible things to happen through the world, Alan woke up from his operation to hear about the appalling loss of life in Israel and even now Hamas are holding their people to ransom. So much hatred and killing in the name of religion. Also so much cruelty to the animals of the world.

So much has happened in the past year, Chris has had a partial knee replacement, Natasha is undergoing numerous medical tests to attempt to isolate what is wrong with her and has to have gold injections into her fingers to keep stiffness and pain at bay. Alan underwent a kidney transplant last October. At his age, he was lucky to get this long and arduous operation done. The kidney wouldn't “wake up” for some time and we were fearing it was a second failure – then slowly it started to function. He still had to have dialysis for quite sometime afterwards, but thankfully for now, that is at an end. He is on enormous amount of medication for the rest of his life, and has constant medical checks. It has taken it out of him though. We really feel for the loss of the person who had to loose their life to enable Alan to continue his.

The county was told that our king Charles third has cancer and then yesterday that the Duchess of Wales also has cancer. 

Do you know all of this already I wonder? 

I have been looking at photographs of your visits to us in Devon this week, happy memories for us and I know you enjoyed them. 

You would have enjoyed seeing Georgia married last year to a wonderful man, sadly his mother has also passed away from cancer.

There is still so much disharmony in the Kendall family - so sad. Do you know the truth of things where ever you are?

Alan and I miss you and you adding extra pages to "Never Without a Tie" and your clever impersonations of people.

With love xx

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on his casket from beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of his birth, and spoke of the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that he spent alive on earth, And now, only those who loved him know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard; are there things you would like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what is true and real And always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more And love the people in our lives like we have never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile, Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while

Miss you so much Dad can't believe it's 5 years, only seems like yesterday.  xx

They say that time is a good healer but that simply isn't true. It doesn't get easier, or better.
And I don't learn to live with the loss & you not being around.
I wish you could be here to celebrate your favourite grandchild Georgia get married in May.You loved her so much and you were such a huge part of her childhood years.
I miss you Dad, and I always will.
I look forward to seeing you again some day.
Until then, I will treasure the beautiful memories and your comforting voice saying , "Dont worry, everything will be ok & always remember, I love you three to bits"
Those were your last words to me.
Love you Dad,
With love from Andri, Georgia & Ioanna.

We visited your grave at the weekend Alistair, Chris and Tasha put in a lovely plant and Alan and I some Daffodils which were in flower. The people who look after the churchyard have made you and the other 'Kendell' grave look really smart. We didn't stay too long as there was a bitterly cold wind.

We all spoke to you in our own way, we all still miss you. Ava and Izzy both asked to be mentioned in our words to you, they also miss you.


You can shed tears that he is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven
and bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say “Goodbye”.
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches with sadness,
and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to love you –
No one can ever know.

Well dear Alister, I missed your birthday, but I am wishing you Happy Birthday where ever you are and am so sorry this is late.

Alan and I often think of you and talk about the times you came to stay here with us in Devon.

I read that there "were people who hurt you and caused you pain", I am so sorry to read this.

You certainly are in a better place. Chris, Tasha and I, along with Finley, Bonnier and our two dogs Dexter and Stela who I know you were fond of, visited where your ashes are buried. Again it was a lovely sunny day, James had been to place a plant on your grave. It was very peaceful, I hope that you are in peace at last.

Chris spoke to you and told you how much he missed you, we all do.

Dearest Alistair, so hear we are again, now two years since you passed. You are still very much missed Alistair. Hopefully Chris and Tasha will be able to come to us in Devon for a visit soon, and then we will drive to put some flowers where your ashes are buried in that lovely quiet spot near so many of you ancestors. I bet you and they are having a right old chin-wag and putting our world to rights. Miss you - Thelma and Alan Atkins

Hard to believe that it's already two years, Alistair, but I don't think you would have enjoyed the past twelve months, where your free spirit would have felt horribly hemmed in by all the necessary restrictions---which look set to continue for longer than we care to believe. Perhaps from your celestial abode you're looking down, wondering how we all got ourselves into this mess. The only glimmer of hope is that there are throngs of researchers battling away at fighting the pandemic, all driven by that very same curiosity that always motivated you down here to dismantle, understand and repair any faltering machine or electrical device, while you entertained us with vivid memories of characters from the past: some lovable, some crotchety, some bombastic, all hilarious. Keep feeding us those anecdotes!

Hello Alistair, Happy Birthday on w'hat would have been your 79th birthday. As I said last time, you wold not like the world as it it is at present with this pandemic. Life would have been so restrictive for you with your age and elements, as it is for so many now. Dur to Alan having a failed kidney trannsplant last year and having to have dialysis three times a week, our life has to be very careful. Its a good job we live where we do, as you know it is very isolated from people. 

We managed a lovely few days in Cornwall with Chris and Tasha a few weeks ago, but Alan have to travel back home three times to receive treatment and then drive back to us. It was a nice break, and we kept well away from busy areas, taking long walks with the dogs. On our way back we stopped of to visit you where your ashes are buried and we all talked to you. Chris and Tasha left a lovely vase with flowers and I left a bunch of flowers. Your memorial stone should be installed soon.

Georgia is doing so well, she has passed her driving test and has been taking Izzy about. She often stays with them, and travels to her university by train when required. So much is done on line at present due to coved. She is taking her masters at present. She and Izzy have become really close which is lovely. Izzy has a lovely boyfriend of two years wh often stays with them. 

Georgia's boyfriend went to supper with T&C last weekend - he is also a lovely man. Tasha told me that she thought "I must invite Alistair over" before she remembered that you are no longer with us.

Chris works very hard,he even had a conference call which we were on holiday. He got the huge BT account that he had been working so hard for, so the Company think so highly of him. Their house extension is all but finished now. The new kitchen is very smart with all high technology equipment init, you shu see the integral coffee machine!! Chris designed it so well. What was the kitchen is now a utility room, also very smart. Two steps go down to the amazing dining room which has a high ceiling and full length doors out onto a patio area. Very smart, you an also get to the drawing room from there. 

Lots of space to sit around the table now. The old dining room is now a music room with your piano pride of place. The snug has been turned into a library/snug for peaceful reading.

You would be so proud of Chris, his high family and work ethics are exceptional. James is now retired, not sure what he's doing, but Sally is living elsewhere at the moment. Alex and Hannah are both doing well.

Cecilia and her boyfriend are close and buying a house together, I am not sure about Tony.

Izzy is working hard and saving her money, Louis is still at Sheffield University taking linguistic and German. A little worrying as Sheffield is in the high covid area.

I don't know about Andrie as, as you know, she has shut herself off from us all.

I wish you were here and could come and stay once again, but you would not manage the stairs, we miss your visits.

We think of you often with kind thoughts Alistair.


Love Thelma & Alan

Happy Birthday Dad on what would have been your 79th Birthday.
You are no longer here but I find comfort still in the sound of your voice and seeing the little simple things in this World which brought you joy..your favourite food, your favourite music, beautiful scenery, old buses, photographs, the smell of the earth after it has rained...I am so blessed to be able to say that I knew you as a person and as a friend not only as my Dad..and what a beautiful soul you had...
I miss you every day...
So today on your birthday I will drink a glass of your favourite Keo brandy, light a candle and remember you with love.. ❤

Dad,
Everyone told me that this would get better in time...but the truth is that the pain gets worse day by day...
I often wonder what you would've made of this World today & how vulnerable you would have been given your health issues but is it selfish of me to wish that you were still here today and constantly wonder if I could've saved you in some way?I still hear your voice and see your kind gentle face and remember how you squeezed my hand and hugged me so tight the last time we met...as if you knew...It was raining and cold & I told you to go back inside but you stood in the rain..it was your last Goodbye..
The girls & I miss you Dad, we always will....
And so, one year on, I light a candle in your memory and I remember you with love..
                   ❤

Alistair, I also can't believe its just over a year already since you left. 
As Cecilia said, you would have hated the way of things at present, being told to self isolate. It's a very sad world at present - what a year can bring on! At least you are now in a better place away from all of the worry, selfishness etc. that is life at present.

You are very much missed by those who knew you. Have you met George who you used to enjoy having conversations with when ever you stayed with us here in Devon? Who knows!! If so I would love to know what you are talking about, a good chat about the way of the world no doubt.

Who would have guessed all those years ago when I first met you when I was working for Quantel and you for Cable & Wireless, and I would have to at times call you in to fix a piece of C&W machinery, that your son and our daughter would marry and have a daughter - although not in that order!!

Still think of you often Alistair, and Chris, Natasha, Alan and I often talk about you.

In the passing of time you are not forgotten. xx

I cant believe how fast this year has gone, what would you think of our current situation. As Ian Thompson said you would find things to do from your ever going lists :-). Those cold callers are definitely missing your wit.

Why does this feel so surreal still? Momentarily thoughts thinking you are still here and thinking that I need to call you to update you with something or a question I need answered. Why is it I have so much to ask still?

The 23rd of March 2019 feels like yesterday everyday.

I miss you dad, everyday I wake up with your face smiling at me as to say you are ok and at peace away from this cruel world.

I'm a day late, but glad to find this board still live.
Alistair, you wouldn't have enjoyed the restrictions we're living under at the moment. They're essential, but they would run right against the grain of your individuality. King Alfred Running Day at Winchester has been cancelled; so have Alton and every other vintage bus event. But you'd have found plenty to do at home: I can smell the hot flux on the tip of the soldering iron as you bring back to life an old wireless set cast aside as "beyond repair" by someone less capable.

Proudly fondling his bright chrome, 3 battery, EverReady torch, I first met Kendall on about 18th September 1950.
  We were two New-Boys at Desmoor School in class 1A, with Patrick Grattan, Henry Green and Ian Oak-Rhind, plus two from the previous term, Elstobbe and Parkinson.
  Today, his manner of speech and tidy desk would probably place him on an Autistic Spectrum, and it wasn't long before his oddity was noticed and Parkinson took to thwacking him over the head with his own three layer, wooden pencil box.
  My intervention made a temporary enemy of Parkinson but brought no sign of friendship from Kendall, until the third Saturday. Mr. Champion's geography class ended slightly early, so taking the classroom globe and amid much protestation, requisitioning Kendall's torch as the Sun, he explained the equinoxes. The sign of friendship came that evening, when with the globe, torch and a tennis ball, I explained to him the solar and lunar eclipses. I am ashamed to this day, that it was I who left his torch on, flattening the batteries, but didn't own up.
  From there our friendship grew as we found shared interests. His inkling for things mechanical emerged when he returned the following term with a large Solex carburetor, from which he lovingly extracted and replaced the jets on Saturday afternoons, and I was able to further that interest because next door to our house was an agricultural repair business, and he was quite envious that I could explain how the distributor chopped up the electricity from the coil and directed it to the sparking plugs.
  On one "Sunday out", Matron thought him ill because he wouldn't eat his breakfast, but it transpired that it was only the anticipated excitement of telling his father about camshafts and the difference between side and overhead valves. I was no more clever than he, but I had a pre-war Puffin book that explained it all in pictures.
  He championed his father's Jowett, I my grandfather's Lanchester, and we had many philosophical but ignorant discussions about which was the better, mirrored in Trix and Meccano electric motors or Sturmey Archer and Derailleur bicycle gears, but our greatest bond was building a crystal set together, which unfortunately only seemed to pick up "Voice of America"
  So passed the "happiest days of his life", always blighted by sport, but eventually culminating in near heaven, running the motor mower over the tennis court and being allowed the cut the long grass with an Allen Oxford scythe.
  I was invited to stay with the family on their seaside holiday in a railway carriage at East Wittering. Three things stand out, him 'rescuing' his brother and me when we found ourselves out of our depth. His mother having the radio on all day (at home it was only on for children's hour and the news), and him urging his father to believe me, that to get a fish hook out of lad's toe, didn't require a doctor's surgical skill, but brute strength to push it on though and cut off the barbs.
  We wrote to each other a couple of times at public school, and thirty nine years later, via his brother through a campanologist constable, I found him and invited him to a "40 years on" Dinner, but he didn't come.
  Part of our education was to learn by wrote:- a piece of prose, a poem, a chunk of each testament and a psalm, which he seemed to easily accomplish. At the end of our first week, I vividly remember admiring him for getting awarded a "Good Set Mark" as the first in the class to correctly recite:-

    I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh my help.
  My help cometh even from the Lord: who hath made heaven and earth.
  He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.
  Behold, he that keepeth Israel: shall neither slumber nor sleep.
  The Lord himself is thy keeper: the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand;
  So that the sun shall not burn thee by day: neither the moon by night.
  The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.
  The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in: from this time forth for evermore.

Bless you Alastair,


"Jaybird".

Alastair ,How I loved the visits with Jim, I too shared your love of the sound of the old bus engines ,music to my ears. They reminded me of school days in Scotland. i would have loved your Never Without A Tie to have been published as an Audio book for the sound of your voice would reduce me to tears of laughter. I loved your sense of fun .As friends we love and will miss you. If their are old buses where you are going save one for me , thankyou dear friend for the coffee ice cream too .

JIm Here!
   I first met Alastair in the late 1970's when he used to visit the Dept. of Experimental Psychology to service our printers, teletypes etc. I was his point of contact so we chatted a lot, we both being EX RAF in common Over the years he kept my family supplied with Speakers and Audio equip which he had repaired. I think he worked for a company called Extel, then went on to work driving buses for Tappins. We visited regularly for a good no. of years until a few years ago. I always had a Christmas card and some photo's of his grandchildren whom he was very proud of, and had loads on his computer.
The one thing I managed to do was to let have some better computers then his current one.There is a lot more memories which are too many to relate here. My wife always looked to the ice cream drizzled with CAMP Coffee
My good fortune to have met you in our mutual life time..Bye Alastair

No-one left to share childhood memories with. Remember good times when we were young - your radio corner, your LE velocette motor bike, the smart person in uniform I didn't recognise when you came home on your first leave from the RAF, your amazing ability to turn a pile of scrap into something which worked. I'm glad you have the love of your children and grandchildren. If there's an afterlife, I hope you find buses there.

With his fund of hilarious stories Alastair could instantly transport you to places far away and times long ago. The characters sprang to life, their voices  rendered with uncanny accuracy. We shared a love of old machines. Alastair was generous in helping me get my pre-war Atco lawnmower back in shape and in reviving electrical bits for our Crossley double-decker , which I only wish he could have ridden in again, and for his kind offer of garage items, which will aid its continued restoration. It was sad that in recent years joint pain marred his enjoyment of historic bus events. I'm grateful to have had such a maverick and entertaining friend for so many years. God Bless.

Forever the archetype eccentric public school gentleman who would rather swallow his pain and fall on his own sword than allow anything untoward to happen to his children. We will miss you so much. I don’t think you ever knew how much we truly loved you.

Alastair, you were the most honourable, principled man I have ever had the pleasure to meet. You were sadly detached, either by opinions or geography, from your children at the time of your passing, but I hope you are able to see how keenly they feel this. They would all have wished to be reconciled with you before you left. We love you.

Alastair - I often wonder where you are now, are you watching us? I am afraid I have lost my religion these days, I lean more towards Buddhism and their principles. I meditate to attempt to increase my mental strength and develop an inner calm and stability, or I would just die of grief and shame of this world. 

I find I can no longer believe in a god who allows such terrible things to happen through the world, Alan woke up from his operation to hear about the appalling loss of life in Israel and even now Hamas are holding their people to ransom. So much hatred and killing in the name of religion. Also so much cruelty to the animals of the world.

So much has happened in the past year, Chris has had a partial knee replacement, Natasha is undergoing numerous medical tests to attempt to isolate what is wrong with her and has to have gold injections into her fingers to keep stiffness and pain at bay. Alan underwent a kidney transplant last October. At his age, he was lucky to get this long and arduous operation done. The kidney wouldn't “wake up” for some time and we were fearing it was a second failure – then slowly it started to function. He still had to have dialysis for quite sometime afterwards, but thankfully for now, that is at an end. He is on enormous amount of medication for the rest of his life, and has constant medical checks. It has taken it out of him though. We really feel for the loss of the person who had to loose their life to enable Alan to continue his.

The county was told that our king Charles third has cancer and then yesterday that the Duchess of Wales also has cancer. 

Do you know all of this already I wonder? 

I have been looking at photographs of your visits to us in Devon this week, happy memories for us and I know you enjoyed them. 

You would have enjoyed seeing Georgia married last year to a wonderful man, sadly his mother has also passed away from cancer.

There is still so much disharmony in the Kendall family - so sad. Do you know the truth of things where ever you are?

Alan and I miss you and you adding extra pages to "Never Without a Tie" and your clever impersonations of people.

With love xx

I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on his casket from beginning to the end. He noted that first came the date of his birth, and spoke of the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years. For that dash represents all the time that he spent alive on earth, And now, only those who loved him know what that little line is worth. For it matters not, how much we own, the cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard; are there things you would like to change? For you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough to consider what is true and real And always try to understand the way other people feel. And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more And love the people in our lives like we have never loved before. If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile, Remembering that this special dash might only last a little while

Miss you so much Dad can't believe it's 5 years, only seems like yesterday.  xx
