A guy who was always outdoors and active in a t shirt and barefeet from the earliest of memories surrounded by drying woollen footy jumper and socks in front of our fire in winter. A true blokey bloke but there was always room for beauty. He would be the first to bring a beautiful bunch of flowers for any occasion, send beautiful cards and in the midst of his stack of papers on his desk on Tuesday there sat a beautiful rose in a glass . :"A man for all seasons" x Laurel
