Dear friends,
It is with the greatest sadness and a very heavy heart that I must tell you today of the passing of our own friend, mentor and builder-Extraordinaire - John Price aka "Sandman" .
I spoke with John only last Thursday evening and I was concerned not to hear from him again for 3 days. Today I contacted the Marina where his boat is moored and got them to investigate.
The Sussex police have just called me to confirm that they have attended and he was found to have passed away some time since that Thursday night.
To say that I am personally upset & distressed is a bit of an understatement, we had become very firm friends and he has been here to stay at my place and we have sunk many VAT's together.
Only 2 weekends ago I visited him and we had a marvelous lunch and a great chat, I will miss him terribly.
John & I had booked to go touring again this June, and he was hopeful that his new trike would be completed by then.
Here are the three of us John (The Bad), Paul (The Hungry) and me Danny (The Good ) pictured in happier times on our tour together in Holland.
Trike on John old boy; rest in peace my dear friend.
