A real shock is right. I was with him all day Tuesday, starting with a cup of tea and a chat with a friend discussing the fitting out of a dinghy in his workshop before he sorted a small but difficult problem on TG. Over our sandwich lunch and tea we resolved most of the world's problems (but no one was listening) and in the afternoon he left with a cheery wave and 'see you tomorrow'. Ironically I thought he looked well - which shows how much I know. He collapsed later over supper and although his wife, the first responder, two paramedics and the Air Ambulance fought to bring him back - and indeed got him back four times, in the end it was no good.
He was a very kind man. Not one to suffer fools or those who took advantage but he went out of his way to help where he could. He was also a very skilled motor mechanic and woodworker. I have know him for close on 30 years and shall miss him very much. Tiller Girl will also miss his skilled hands. Only on Friday we put a frame in TG which was a demonstration of his skill. It went in as sweetly as I have come to expect when doing work with Adrian.
He was only 60!

Really sad - 60 is no age these days.
