Si, I can’t believe you have left us and what’s more it is not fair that I can’t say goodbye.
I remember starting in insurance broking as a ‘clark and processor’ as you would have put it. You used to come in early and work late. Your desk was always a tip and you used to blow your nose on your gym towel but you worked hard and we had huge laughs. Later we were moved apart for ‘training purposes’ which actually meant we were having far too much fun. We did end up sitting opposite each other again eventually and the fun continued.
From John’s ‘Bredbury Sharks’ trips to thanking Donna for ‘Popping in’ at the end of the day, the Jacuzzi Toucans are still referred to and only the other day we were texting about up the ‘toot’ and ‘roight in the nought’ which still makes me laugh.
White William the security guard, Lal Malhan’s Greasy Bread and your two gold fish you had on your desk – Classic and Jones. And for some reason, and I can’t remember why you always called me Wilson so I called you Preston.
To this day I can hear you say ‘China, as in the country’ when someone asked your name on the phone.
I’m laughing to myself as I write this and remember all these things.
I was gutted when you left COH for AON. We found out which hotel you were doing you AON induction at so called and left a message with reception, something to the effect that the ‘Goat was doing much better now’. In any case you met The Mayoress when you worked there so it was a good move and we did get to work briefly together again.
I’m going to miss you, our inane text messages and the laughs.
You have had such a massive impact on so many people, you will never know, and you have had a massive impact on me. I only have happy memories of laughing till I couldn’t talk, I miss you already.
