Re: Alf Corbyn
Received a message about the sad News of Alf Corbyn passing from Marian,and must say that although I knew the inevitable had to happen this really has devastated me ,as I was so very fond of Alf,after we met in Southampton a few Years back now!
We became very good mates even though we were far apart,but both knew that the Friendship was real!
My Sincere Condolences to his Wife and Family,may he now rest in Peace as I know just how much he was going through,even though he never let on to many,always a good smile and a happy attitude,another Special person like Lou ,Oh how I will miss him!
May the winds be calm and gentle Alf and may your sails take you to all those Exotic and exciting places you so loved in your Days mate!
You will (Like Lou) remain in my Heart forever take care dear Friend and have the rest you so well deserve.
Never to be forgotten!
Adios and may God Bless
