I started working with Si in 2007 when we were both the newbies at Manson’s as it was called then. First he was a colleague, then my manager and then a really close friend. He really was one of the funniest people I have ever met and often had me in stitches in the office with his stories about getting lost, the bins, the mayoress or his bowel collapse moments! He had nicknames for most of his team mine being Fringe or Fringezilla depending on what mood I was in! Every morning when I walked in I would hear him make this dread noise and say “El Diablo” the cheeky sod! He often called me a cougar and I remember coming in work one day to a beware of the cougar sign stuck on my monitor! He would also joke about me crying poverty being a single parent and then booking a holiday by playing “it’s a hard knock life” on his phone!
He really did have a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone. He really looked after me over the years and was a great manager to me. His knowledge and work ethic were unbelievable and will probably never be matched by anybody! You probably all know that China hated certain words which I would regularly wind him up with so it only seems right to finish this with Si you were ‘perfect’ in every way and I will miss you so much. I will never ever forget you. Rest in peace ‘buddy’ lots of love Lisa aka Fringe xxx
