Al, stuart informed me earlier today of your brother. man, words cant express what the family or you will be going through.

very sad loss, he was a true giant of a man, a gent and great story teller of your mishaps and his.

kind regards

thanks to everyone for the kind words and thoughts, it means a lot to me and his wife and sons..... even though he died because of a motorbike, they know how much joy it brought him, and how much he was looking forwards to the Firestorm weekends.


still waiting for Post Mortem to be done before we can start funeral arrangements, but we are told it will be this thursday, so that will allow us to start plans.

I will post the funeral details on here, and I hope a few of you can make it on the day.
but I would ask that you don't come on your bikes, as I don't think Vivien [his wife] is ready to cope with that.... when she hears a bike in the distance, she still thinks, for a split second, that it could be Norman coming home.

The funeral date is set for Friday 3rd at 11.30.

Location is Corsock parish church in Dumfries and Galloway ... postcode will begin with DG7 but it’s just south east of the village on the A712.

I have no words for you that will make the pain go away my friend.

My thoughts are with you and your family at this distressing time.



don't worry about dying worry about not living!
