I will always remember my first meeting with Julian ( at The Man of Kent of course ! ), shortly after the discovery that he actually owned a small square of land in our garden, due to a boundary issue with the previous owners. Not only did he handle this matter with tact and diplomacy, but we became good friends and neighbours as a result. I will very much miss him - socialising at the MoK and our ad hoc bbq’s in particular are such fond memories for me. Julian was a true gent in every sense, also a generous and kind soul who was well regarded by all. I’m honoured that I can think of him as a friend, although I write this with much sadness and a heavy heart – I will treasure these memories of Julian and remember him always as the warm and friendly person I grew to know. Geoff.
