My condolences on the loss of your father.
As his tablemate at our meals here at Brighton Gardens, it was a pleasure to share golfing memories as well as looking forward to see if he was wearing his "Gearing" cap or the fedora.
It has truly been said that memories are far more valuable than possessions...
