Sad to hear, before my time but have heard his praises sung by older relatives when they heard I lived in a building named after him.

Very sad to hear. I was fortunate to have have been coached by him at 3D / Ken Biddulph coaching weekends. A true gentleman and very helpful and encouraging.

The icing on the cake was that he also supported Newcastle.
