Today we attended the funeral of our former colleague, John M Smith (Archie).
Archie was actually my own driving instructor back in 2005. I remember being a bit nervous turning up for my first lesson, but one of the first things he said to me was, “Do you take a pint yourself?” 😂 I knew then we were going to get on just fine! 🙂
He was always very supportive and helpful when I first qualified as an ADI, and was great craic to work alongside over the years.
Today, we came together to do a wee convoy for his final journey out of town over the way of Dalmore, to his final resting place. A fitting send-off for one of our own. ❤️
Rest in peace, cove. ❤️
