".......you have the
joy of knowing that he served his generation well and has helped many
lame dogs over stiles..........for he was a happy soul and always
tried to make the best out of life and to live in harmony as far as
possible with his fellows..........his loss will be keenly felt by
the members of the Association, he being a life member, for his rich
experience in pottery matters was always placed at the disposal of
fellow members, and although sometimes he said many pungent things,
yet his remarks were always kindly meant, and on many occasions he
was able to pour oil on troubled waters."
