My brother Nick, only 11 and half months older than me (!!??) were very close and some people thought we were twins (NOT in looks!). We shared so many things both as children growing up in Canterbury along with brother Nigel, and throughout life.
After Nick passed away in late 2017, as I sorted through photo's etc, it brought home to me, EVEN more, just what we shared, in terms of interests and pastimes. We both played guitar, took photo's, wrote (Nick poems, me songs and short stories), and we both collected models of hands and often bought the same/similar items without realising until we visited each other's houses.
Nick was a great character who always had time to talk with people from all walks of life and left a lasing impression. He is greatly missed, by me, his wife Joy and all his family and many friends and ex-colleagues. A VERY SPECIAL brother and human being.
