It’s a massive blow to the company and such shock to us all, especially the ferocious speed in which he was taken, but at least this means his pain was as short as possible. As a company we have to pull together to help us all get over this tragedy.</span></p>

At the office he was always a pleasure to work with. He had such a warm nature and was very sociable and friendly. His work ethic was second to none, always going the extra mile.</span></p>
