I'll always be grateful to Viv for the opportunities, support, guidance and friendship he gave me.

Viv, when we moved in next door to you and Eunice, we definitely struck luck. We couldn't have wished for better neighbours for the last 38 years. We missed Eunice when she passed 3 years ago and now we will miss you too. We'll remember you both with affection. RIP xx

Hi everyone! When calling around to tell you all about my Dad's passing, I was often touched by your kind words (especially about the way he bore his Parkinson's during the final ten years of his life), but also surprised that there was so much about my Dad (and Mum!) that, as a frequently absent son in foreign climes, I didn't know about at all!! These included stories about past holidays, gardening activities, things that he and my Mum did (and contributed to), and the odd funny story I had never heard before. So please use this site to add stories, comments and photos that you personally remember Viv by. I will start the ball rolling by adding some old photos of Dad that I found in an old album recently of him in his younger days.... .
