Passed away at Jersey’s General Hospital, on Monday, 22 February 2016, aged 76 years. Finally free of his wheelchair, cares and illnesses that plagued his last years. I know that I shall meet my fate, Somewhere among the clouds above;Those that I fight I do not hate, Those that I guard I do not love;My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor, No likely end could bring them loss, Or leave them happier than before. Nor law, nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds, A lonely impulse of delight, Drove to this tumult in the clouds;I balanced all, brought all to mind, The years to come seemed waste of breath, A waste of breath the years behindIn balance with this life, this death.
