Sincere condolences and best wishes to Barney and the family. Very saddened to hear of Martin's passing. He had such a full life. I had the pleasure of meeting him last year and what a memory! What stories he told me of my Uncle from many years ago. Hoping the celebration of his life goes well today I am sure you will have amazing memories to share. Regards Carole and everyone at SuperGrans.

I was very sad to hear of Uncle Martin's passing. I remember him with fondness, he was my favourite uncle, always cheerful and gentle. He will be missed. Deepest condolences to Chris, Steven, Phillip, Bernie, Neil, Andrew and Maurice - and your own families. I sadly will not be able to attend the funeral on Friday but I'm sure you will send him off well. David Monteath
