I will always remember Si with of the fondest memories. His humour was one-of-a-kind and he was pure comedy, even if he didn’t realise how much of his sense of humour was legendary.
I will never forget the years I spent working with him and how much of a close friend he was. Si and I were good friends and had such a good laugh together.
Two lasting memories for me...I just remember his Fishtank on his desk at work. He was so dedicated to looking after those fish but it was the weirdest thing to have on your desk at work! The other one is a bit gross (and I know Si would be cringing at me telling you this) but he used to have a towel at the side of his desk that he had used from being at the gym or to wipe himself down if he’d got soaking wet at lunchtime. The worst thing was he used to sneeze into the towel as well! Every time he sneezed The towel would come out... I always remember telling him how unhygienic it was and that it went through me. Of course being Si this just made him do it all the more!!
I remember him coming up to me and telling me that he had met the most incredible woman. This was epic! He was besotted. Having known Vicky from the insurance circle it seemed an unlikely match, with her outgoing personality and his introverted style. However it was a match made in heaven. I have never seen him as happy as he was during those years he was with, and married to, Vicky. If there ever was a perfect couple, this was it. He really had found his soulmate.
We haven’t talked a lot recently, I got married and had kids in our lives just went in different directions. One thing I regret more than anything is not seeing him recently and introducing him to my little family. I know he would pretend not to care and say he wasn’t interested but he would’ve loved to have met my little girl. I’m glad to know that he has seen, mainly through social media, that my dream of a family came true and I am so so blessed and glad to see that his came true as well. His cats were his babies and he absolutely adored them. Along with Vicky they completed him.
He was a man of few words but those words were always pure comedy, sarcastic or genuinely caring. Cruelly taken from this world way too early.
Si, you are the only person who will ever get away with calling me Zilla (after Godzilla) and it’s my most treasured memory.
A legend taken too early. Si, you will be missed
