Re: Brian daley
He was a good friend, we spent a lot of time together over the years,
so I saw his Birthday on today's list, and thought no one knew he had past.
Cheers
Brian

Also we should always remember our mate Bob Fairly who was on PQ17 convoy.

Hi Ron
I too remember Bob quite often and watch the DVD the Russians gave him. Lovely small man who was a Giant.
Photos from the DVD

I did contact his family before I went to Canada but they told me there was no Grave.or stone
So he must have been scattered at sea.
I did visit Owen sound last year and visited the two museums he spoke off.
I did meet him when he cam over and brought me some Tim Hortons doughnuts.
I used to talk with him everynight via skype

Re: Brian daley
Hi Ron,
I had a good day out with him in Liverpool at the Club. He had a good funny humour,
it was not long before he died. I WAS PROUD TO HAVE KNOWN HIM.
Here is a photo of him between me and Ernie Higham.
RIP BOB.

I was to be there but I was in bed with flue.
Funny as I regret missing that meet
I was to go and see him when I went that year to Canada and he was taking me to the ship simulator.
