I got told the news that he had died a few weeks ago. Another friend rang me at work and, sure, it hit like a bowling ball to the stomach but it wasn't until today at his funeral that it really dawned that he is never going to be in my life again.
He suffered a massive stroke whilst getting ready for work and never regained consciousness. He was only 36 (3 years older than me) and the worse part of it all is he got married just 3 months earlier!

Just got back and his wife is putting on her public face but God knows how she is coping.
I'd like you all to raise a virtual glass to my good friend Martin. May he annoy the other people in Heaven with his eclectic taste in music.
