The best of me would have been the poorer without DNR’s influence.
Fayrer 80-85, with my parents thousands of miles away, could have been a daunting time and place. Instead, it felt safe and secure, somewhere hard work was rewarded, where boundaries could be gently pushed but where switching off was not an option. There was ever a twinkle behind the stern exterior and a shared joy with every triumph. He was a proper leader, inspiring confidence in his followers and only requiring a fraction of the effort from others that he would himself exert, even if that fraction was more than we thought we could manage before we actually tried. He is missed and my thoughts and prayers are with all those whose lives he changed, but especially with those whose lives he shared.
