Subject: RE: Obit: Don Partridge (22 Sept 2010)
RIP Don you'll be missed.

Met Don through my late guitarist Brother, in Seaford.

When Ian told me he was to be playing with Don Partridge I remembered Don on Top of the Pops straight away, happy music remembered by me aged 12 or 13 at the time. Still like it now.

Don and Pam were good friends to my Brother and to my Family when he died, Don spoke at his funeral, great job he made of it, naturally.

After Don stopped driving was able to drive him to Lewes and Seaford for the busking 6 or 7 times, when I was in Sussex at weekends, got the hang of fitting the sack trolley in the car too when W H Smiths wouldn't have the gear in the store when they took it over from previous owners! All the gear tied up with string to the sack trolley in the Office Bar courtyard at Seaford, wish I'd taken a picture of it!

Lost touch with Don in recent times I'm sorry to say.
Sincere condolences to Don's family and close friends.
