Shocked & saddened to learn of Chic’s passing. I'm saddened for your loss & my thoughts are with you. I have fond memories of Chic, remembering that we’d spent many a week together at the NCU/CWU Education Centre in Alvescot some 25 years ago as we simultaneously progressed through the Unions Education system & subsequently became Branch reps & officials at around the same time. I also recall attending numerous CWU meetings & conferences where Chic was also in attendance as well as meetings with BT management. Whatever the occasion, there seemed always a smile on his face, a glint in his eye & his sharp, dry wit was nearly always reflected in his verbal contributions. He was a part of my life, albeit fleetingly, as a fellow NCU/CWU representative, activist & BT employee, but once met, he was & never will be forgotten. Rest easy comrade.
