It’s taken a while for this dreadful news to sink in.
Si was a very special friend to me & we enjoyed a close friendship as flat mates at the Polygon for 2 years from September 2003 and thereafter.
An odd couple 27 year old & 52 year old but from the first time we met at Caunce Ohara we instantly sparked off each other and I had no hesitation in accepting his offer of You looking for a flat mate?
Hilarious times from late night fry ups (one of Si’s specialities) to our boys only
trips to New York, Paris & various road trips around the UK especially when he got his driving licence.
He’d drive anywhere as long as we fed him. There would usually be Si me & my mate Tom. We did the drinking Si did the eating.
My teenage boys really took to Si and have very fond memories of many nights at the Polygon including a Friends last episode party Yikes!
He sure did have an extensive box set collection X files 24 Millenium Sopranos& Friends of course are some that come to mind that we spent many an enjoyable hour ploughing through them.
It was great that we experienced New York at Xmas & New Year together with my sons also.I know he loved the trip & it was great that he & Vicky carried on becoming seasoned travellers to the USA
I can’t possibly do Si justice here but it’s so good to hear that so many people appreciated his friendship and sense of humour. There is no doubt that he was a true one off and I have been privileged to have spent so much time with him.
He was a complex intelligent guy with a tremendous wit which maybe to some could be a little cutting at times but always funny. Deep inside Si was a kind caring private soul.He would be selective about who he let in.
Not a hugger in those days but you would count yourself lucky when you got his headbutt in your chest as his sign of affection.
And then came Vicky who transformed his life and there is no doubt that Si died a happy man in their lovely home. Si & Vicky have shown us all that you don’t have to be joined at the hip to enjoy a successful happy marriage.
I remember seeing them together in the flat for the first time blasting the hell out of each other with gusto on a war video game. Hmmm I thought what a perfect match for Si!
Si you were a true loyal friend that I will sorely miss but your memory will always be with me.
God bless
