I still see you, coming into our office, with a big smile and an annoying request.You lifted any stress and made thing slight and fun. You will never be forgotten, I just hope you knew how much you were loved by so many people. You were the big brother I always wanted. Love, your old pal Boozy Susie X

I cannot believe it is nearly 2 years since we last spoke & laughed together. I remember our last night out together in KL, you listened, joked and I drank too much as usual!
Your smile will always live on. I am honored to have counted you as a friend.

Report this message By Paul Worrall on 30th Jan 2010Guessin you would just say, "Hey, don't worry, it's cool, you got here, we're in no rush to go anywhere anyway!" Then, "Do you fancy a lousy, 'Arabian, Turkish or Asian' cigarette?" The phrase, 'you don't know what you got till you lose it' fits. I'm sure, that for all of us that knew you, a candle went out for everyone of us when you left us. We miss and will allways miss, your impromptu appearances, your larger than life friendliness, your risque corporate xmas gifts and your honest down to earth philosophy, 'if you're the best, you can't be the the cheapest!' Cheap... not your style!!! OK, maybe the cigs! God bless you. From all of us at IMR.
