A huge loss


Friday 20 April 2012

We got a phone call at 2am, never a good sign, from Rob, telling us that a very great friend, Danny Keane, who runs IGR Chandlers, had died suddenly from a heart attack.   Devastating news.  Danny was larger than life, either manic or grumpy;  how John Cleese would be if he ran a chandlers.  On boatyard days we’d visit Danny’s shop at least once, sometimes several times a day.  The high points of the day.  Dave is knocked sideways.  The funeral was on Sunday, with a huge turnout, filling the cemetery on the next hill from us.
