I remember our intro meeting in the Army Reserve office of 202 at Copthorne Barracks, 10yrs ago, when you were still OC in Scottish Med.Regt, and scoping potential alternative Reserve posting opportunities having relocated to Shropshire. Our paths didn't cross again properly until Covid when you were working in primary care. You gave freely of your pressurised time to assist with excellent IPC advice in our planning for the vaccination site at Telford International Centre. Several years later, we're both working for Shropcom, and having been tasked with getting the Trust signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant, your input and contribution as one of our Armed Forces Network champions was invaluable and now sorely missed. I hope the heart to heart conversation & my efforts to re-ignite your enthusiasm, when you were somewhat disillusioned with the Reserves, and more importantly listen and support you, made a positive difference in return. Your kindness, professionalism, helpful attitude and lovely personality will be lasting memories I'll always treasure. Your leadership inspired so many, thank you for your service and friendship. Sending strength and love to all your family and friends xx
