Mr and Mrs Debbie and Tony paxton

A truly lovely man who a cheeky and infectious smile

Mr and Mrs Bond

I can't believe he's gone. A legend in his own lifetime. From being the first person I knew to have a "mobile" phone (size and weight of a car battery) to cutting an old car in half so he could use the front of it on stage DJ-ing. Many fantastic memories from his "scouting" years when he was affectionately known as "Therapy". See you in the next world Dazza.

Mr Malcolm Leach

When me and Amy needed a hero, Darren was ours. We'll never forget. Love and miss you, Maria, Darren and Amy

Mrs Maria and Darren Kosta

What a great bloke and friend - nothing was too much trouble - even came with us on our honeymoon! We can't believe he's no longer with us but he'll always be in our hearts having left us with some great memories: Get off my land; I didn't have any trouble getting into Oxford, straight down the A40; etc! Massive condolances to the family - we'll be with you to pay tribute to one-of-a-kind. Much love, Simon & Carole X.
