Deepest Sympathy to all the family. Taff was a great business associate and a bloody good man.
From Linda Hunt
My condolences to Taff’s family on his passing.
I worked with Taff for 8 and a half years and never a dull moment. I don’t know how many times a day he called me a lunatic and had me laughing. He was a real good Buggar!
Unfortunately I can’t make it to Taff’s farewell but I am thinking of his family at this sad time.
