An old friend for more than twenty years died suddenly yesterday morning in hospital. A week ago he was hail and hearty and looking forward to a number of projects he was involved in and about which he enthusiastically spoke.
A sudden and unexpected death is always sad, the moreso when it occurs just prior to what should be the happiest and most family-orientated time of the year. The shock to family and friends is not to be underestimated and we share in their sadness and sorrow at what has suddenly become a terrible and shocking time.
There is little of any real comfort one can say to someone who has been so unexpectedly bereaved and though, doubtless, the immediate family will gather round and extend their love and assistance, mere words cannot help.
Nonetheless, I pay tribute to my old chum, my knowledgeable and talkative chum, Albert Novelli, who many will know from his days in the merchant service and, more latterly, British Airways as a Cabin Services Director. Others will know of him from his hobby of photographing ships and aircraft.
God bless and keep you Albert, and extend his warmth and comfort to Ruth.
