Sylvia and her ill health, which saddened me greatly. He didn't look that much different to be honest, still the same spikey haircut.
I suspect 'my ex' knew Roy initially through their fishing interest, not the others.
He did tell me he was putting on file his 1,000's of photographs and was sweetening him up to probe for pictures of Accrington, etc., but gathered most were family and friends.
Thanks for the details, Dave, would definitely love to go and pay my respects, but not too hot myself at the moment.
Will take some time to think about our very 'interesting' discussions instead.
Once again, thank you.

I think he was the last man in Accrington still getting a crew cut.
We spent many a week sorting his photo collection out, and putting then on the computer and the external hard drives, and yes they were mostly family content.
The ones he took for the Observer were work photos, so were retained by Garth Dawson.
Look after yourself, and keep warm, and its a nice thought that you will give a moment or two to think of Roy. dave mac
