A natural educator, he taught at night school and became an established member of his local community in the North London suburb of Edgware, where he worked as a Chartered Surveyor alongside his wife Jill. Together they raised three children in a home marked by its warmth and hospitality for nearly 50 years.
He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND) in 2014. As his body declined his imagination flourished: He started drawing again, this time making up stories for his eight grandchildren, aged between 7 and 13 so they could appreciate the world he would soon leave behind.
