Farewell

After yesterday’s visit to a cemetery, today I went to a crematorium. We were saying farewell to a former colleague and lovely man: David Essery.

I worked to David for several years and used to bump into him periodically after he retired. He struggled with Parkinson’s over the past 10 years or so but until the past few weeks was doing well.

The service brought back many memories and stories and a few laughs.

Afterwards the gathering was at Prestonfield House which lived up to its usual standard and provided an opportunity to catch up with former colleagues.
