A Life Long Friendship

January 11, 2016

Pav would have written this but he in hospital so I will do my best.

we last spent time with Paul when he stayed with us on what he knew to be his last trip to his beloved homeland. this was the culmination of a liftime of shared experiences memories & very real affection .It was sad that he became very ill toward end of this trip.
Paul & his family havealways been an important part of our life. He & Pav met when they were 3 & formed through the years an indissoluble bond.  They shared many interests proffessional & otherwise & argued about many others.Paul was 1st best man at our wedding in 1965 & Pav returned the compliment not once but twice!.
When they were young single & carefree they had many adventures including a trip to Greece on a scooter which involved amogst other things being chased by angry villagers when they ttried to catch a duck (they were hungry!)
We had many very enjoyable holidays togetherincluding driving 4 of us in a mini to a friends wedding in Notthern Greece .A trip which included incidents enshhrined in family folklore.WE had super trip to Hilto Head when the older children were young this was our 1st trip to NC & was followed by several others over the years.
Most recently Paul & Carol entertained us right royally in Las Vegas & we all went on from there on a great road trip which included driving on unmarked road through mountainous caverns(terrifying) into death valley  amazing sight!.Paul insisted on driving he could be quite stubborn !
Maybe it was this stubborness allied to courage which enabled him to cope with the pain & suffering of the last few years which he did mostly with good humour & equanimity.
Altho living half the world away from one another Pav & Paul remained in close contact & were always htere for one another.It is agreat sadness for Pav & I that we are not there with family at this time but we are withyou in our hearts.
We looked forward to his almost annual visits to London & knew the itinerary would include fish&chips curry (hot) salt beef sandwiches visit to Portobello Rd & games of golf.
We will miss him being here getting up in morning to find kettle hot & him outside with tea book & ciggie!

WE loved Paul & we will miss we & the family sned our love to you who will miss him more    Joy
