We knew his memorial service was going to be big when the venue was the local arts centre - so we arrived with 30 minutes to spare and we were seated in the second row from the back. I would estimate over 700 people were there! Imagine that... 700 people turning up to your funeral. I'm not even sure I know 700 people. Listening to the eulogies, and the various people who spoke about my friends life I was just overwhelmed with how good this man was.
Mr A was heavily into music, which is how I knew him, in particular brass bands. As you can see from the photo below - this is how many musicians were on stage today to play for his memorial service. There would have been probably between 80-100 musicians on stage.
I wanted to write about this today as a way to help me process, grieve and celebrate a truly wonderful man. Mr A you will be missed. I know you will continue to be making music and inspiring others wherever you now are. RIP
