I never had the pleasure of meeting Smudge. I have been off work for a while through ill health. From reading these posts I am sorry I didn't get the opportunity.
Gibbo, Steady and Pards. Bob and Rich. Some good times had to be remembered always.
Gary was a legend. An excellent boss who led by example. A lesson to us all. Lots of people knew the social side of Gary. Some of you will not have known the compassionate side of him. He called my wife (who's pregnant) when I was in hospital and offered to mow the lawn, do the shopping, wash the car, put the hoover round. That is a measure of the man. That will stay with me forever. Gary Nicholson.
RIP lads
