I first met Nigel in 1966 I think. We spent time in each other’s company at the beginning and end of every day, 6 days a week travelling to and from school. I remember a kind face with a ready smile who enjoyed life. I left Hardye’s in 1969 and it wasn’t until 2 months ago that we met up again. Of all of us I think Nigel had changed the least and I certainly would have recognised him if we’d met in the street. Towards the end of the evening of our reunion we spent an hour together chatting catching up and finding out we had a lot in common. It was a pleasure to meet him again. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. The world was a richer place for his presence. Once again, my condolences.

It is with great sadness and loss to say that whilst on holiday with a friend in Almerimar, Spain, Nigel sadly passed away on Monday 2nd September after suffering a heart attack.
Nigel’s funeral will take place at 10:30 on Friday 27th of September at Exeter Crematorium in the St Peter's Chapel.
Nigel loved life and would like to see people attending wearing a sea of colour to celebrate his life. There will be a wake at the Topsham Brewery & Taproom (next to Rockfish), Maclaines Warehouse, 1 Haven Road, Exeter EX2 8GR after the service. We would love to see as many of you as possible to share our memories together. If you could let us know you are attending that would greatly help with the planning of the funeral and wake.
Rather than flowers, Nigel would’ve liked donations to go to Diabetes UK as he was a diabetic for over 50 years. Alternatively, donations to Coeliac UK would be appreciated as his Grandson Joseph is Coeliac. Therefore, there will only be family flowers.
Please share this as appropriate.
