Dear Gil,
It's been a week now since I heard the sad news from Sarah, and I want to add my condolences to the many you must have already received. I know they come in floods, like tears. It's both heartbreaking and uplifting to read them and sometimes almost too much to handle. But I must add my few words of eulogy to the many that you will have already received.
Tom was lovely man. A great favorite of my Mum's and every member of our family. For me he was part fatherly, part brotherly, part comradley. He was always so kind and thoughtful towards me and of course we shared a lot of interests together over the years.
One of my most exciting days as a boy was spent with him at the BBC studio. I'll never forget that. He took a lot of time showing me around what was like a Wonderland at the time. I wonder whether I thanked him enough or whether he knew how inspirational that trip was for me?
And then later in life, when our age gap became less significant, I settled into very comfortable friendship with both of you and always felt as ease and at home. Indeed we spent many a day in each other's homes, over the following years. I did so enjoy our visits together. It wasn't so long ago we had that lovely day at the Bird Park in KL.
It's dreadfully depressing losing a loved one, as I do well know, but of course especially hard when you have been together so many years as you and Tom have. I can only imagine what you're going through. I'm glad to hear Sarah and Chris are close by to help you cope. My thoughts are with you all.
I wish I could attend the funeral but circumstances don't permit, I'm sorry. I will be there in spirit.
Wishing you much strength and fortitude over the next few days and weeks, and lots of love and affection as always.
With a sad heart,
John
