He also represented Brush at numerous trade delegations due to his fluent Spanish. He married Monolita, a Spanish lady who he married in Gibraltar in about 1960, during his national service. They had one daughter, who today teaches at Leicester University.

			He was always active and was quite a useful sportsman, playing soccer (in goal) for Loughborough Town in his younger days, he played competitive table tennis and enjoyed, even to the end, competitive cycling.

			The funeral service was held in Isla Cristina, Huelva on 13th August 1998, followed by interment in the local cemetery.

With the exception of National Service (served mainly in Gibraltar), he was employed by Brush for the whole of his working life, advancing to head one of their drawing offices. He also represented Brush at numerous trade delegations due to his fluent Spanish. He married a Spanish lady in about 1960 and had one daughter, who today teaches at Leicester University.
