    Jeff was a very very good friend for the last 20 years, I have learnt so much from him and will endeavour to follow his instructions. He always said that one day” you will turn up and I won’t be here”. This is exactly what happened on November 3rd. I will miss you forever!!!
    Thanks for all you have done for me.
