Goodbye Nigel, You achieved so much for so many in all too short a time…….. I wish you blue skies………

Nigel, you were a part of our extended family for 40 years in Christchurch, through church, choirs, scouts, Gang Show, Gilbert & Sullivan, family and friendships. Moving to Canada I hadn't seen you for years, but I still remember you "doing" a rubiks cube in a matter of seconds in our living room, you recruiting the WHOLE family to be involved with Christchurch G&S from the very first year it began - being on stage (being directed like one of your planes!), in the orchestra pit, make-up, costuming and building stained glass windows in our house. The phrase "Goodnight Nigel" was uttered most nights when we were all still chatting past midnight. St George's church choir which you ran (and honestly made better than The Priory at the time) was one of your legacies and introduced me to choral singing, I suspect there are many Gang Show and scouting photos of you floating around too. We watched you graduate univeristy and become a Math Teach in Poole, which you hated. We saw you take the huge step towards Air Traffic Control and following that dream when you made that decision. We will forever be linked through your 40 years in our town and your relationships. Rest in Peace.

RIP Nigel, you were an inspiration and you will be very missed. It was a real pleasure to have worked with you on Legally Blonde.
