Farewell Dick.

Today was a sad day because we said farewell to our friend Dick de Leeuw. He died last week after a tough battle with cancer which he very unfortunately lost.

A lot of people came to pay their last respects to him and to show support for his wife, Miriam. Kind words were spoken of this special person that he was.

Walking back to the car we passed Frosty the snowman. He was fighting his own battle with the weather.

In Irish tradition there was a wake to celebrate Dick's life. We drove back to Mulligans with Mic, Mickey and Nantko.

There was a very good session at the pub.

People just weren't leaving. It was a great gathering that Dick would've liked. I'm sure he was still hanging around with us and he must have enjoyed seeing us drink in his honour :-)

And then we went to Wagamama for some dinner.
