Today, myself and another forum member, collected Darrens van from Patterdale and took it home for him.

I met Darrens Father, Mother and Amanda his wife, oh how I wish it would have been in different circumstances that I got to meet Darrens family.

But when he is looking down now he can rest assured that the dignity they showed me today is true testiment to how this gentleman ran his life, a real man who helped others, without want of a reward, a man who on many occassions I have hugged and will sorley miss that in the future, a man who I can call a friend.

So many have written so many words, and i am sure he would be humbled right now.

I am just so pleased to have had the pleasure of meeting this fine man.

Rest in peace my friend we will all miss you.
