  • I was his Sqn clerk at Bovi. He treated me like a daughter not a soldier. His words of wisdom stayed with me throughout my 22 years in the Army and I will never ever forget this amazing man who made me laugh so much. I had a manual typewriter (1985) and he surprised me one day with an electric one it had a big red bow on it and a card. The card had a picture of my little pony on it, on the inside he had wrote

Dear Colin (Sunray), you were a true gentleman, fun, and a pleasure to share many good times with, over the past 8 or so years. We miss you, and we will always remember you in our hearts.

Forever reciting poetry, this was one of his and my favourites, "Tired and weary I lay down in the gutter, and a little pig lay down by my side. A woman walking by was heard to sadly mutter, "You can always tell them that boozes by the company they do choses", and the little pig got up and walked away". Love you dad, you were one in a million.
