Kevin Furlong

It is with deep regret that I inform you of Kevin's passing away in Lagos two days ago. Unfortunately I am not aware of the cause of his passing and insert here a statement from the Area Manager:

"It is with the deepest regret that I inform you of the sudden passing of Kevin Furlong in Lagos earlier this afternoon.

Kevin has been part of the Bristow family for over 30 years working in Scotland, Malaysia and latterly he has been based in Lagos, Nigeria. Kevin was a highly respected Engineer and Manager and will be sorely missed by all his colleagues throughout the world.

Kevin is survived by his wife, Kay their own children and their grandchildren.

Subject to it being the wish of the family, we will obviously communicate any funeral arrangements as soon as we have them.

Akin Oni"

Sad Indeed

A good bloke taken too young, leaving a devoted wife and large tribe of kids and grand kids.

All the best Kev.

Unhappy

That's very sad news indeed. I feel so sorry for Kay and his family. I have so many happy memories of evenings by the pool in Shoni Bari with Kevin and Kay. My deepest condolences to Kay.
He will be sadly missed by his family at home and by his 'Bristow' family.
RIP Kevin

Rest In Peace

Kevin was the first guy I met in Warri almost 15 years ago, we took his VW to Abraka on my only day off, Kay was gone traveling at the time. He will be missed. Our condolences go to Kay and the entire family... Kevin you were a good one. I am still sorry I called the Lagos Yacht Club, the boat yard......

Really sad to hear the news this morning

Kay,

I was really shocked to hear the news this morning.

Deepest condolences from Gill and I.

You and Kevin were just about the first people we met all those years ago in Terrenganu. Many happy times in the Club 61 and trips to Kapas.
