Sadly Steven too has now passed away, and with some sad irony he and his father were the same age when they passed on. Steven was a friend of mine both at work and previously at school and Baxenden scouts and Derek, also a joiner was a friend of my Dads.

Hi Ian, I left Rileys in 1976 went working for Valley Refrigeration and Shopfitters, had some good times whilst I was there, but I finally feel out with Mary and David, infact there were about 4 of us left at the same time. That was of course before they went big and then finally moved and went bust. I still kept in touch with some of the lads for a while, I was a big mate of Jimmy Galbraith, who sadly died in 1980 so I bet you may have known him, Joe Taylor was another and Tommy Yates, and not to forget Jon Martin who I actually went to school with, thanks for reminding me about those times Ian
