Many thanks for your efforts OP. You and your buddy should feel justifiably proud of yourselves.
From reading the posts here is it clear that Barry/Baz was a top bloke and lived a full life with his family and friends. If there is any better epitaph for a life I don't know what it is.
Also thanks to the poster re the St Johns App. I have had First Training in the past but not sure if I could react like the OP did in such a situation and its good to have a source to fall back on to remind me of what you need to do.
My sincere condolences to everyone who knew Barry.
Bloody hell.
Never knew the bloke but I shall raise a glass tonight.
So sad to read this thread, but good to know that Barry lived life to the full.
It's prompted me to get round to organising a first aid course through work to refresh my skills.
Thoughts with all his Family and Friends. Sounds like a top bloke who lived a full life.
Taken way to early though. Great effort Blitz. Look after yourself mate.
What a great photo of Barry. He was clearly a top bloke and it’s heartwarming to read these words written about him by his friends.
Although he died far too young, it sounds like he lived a full and happy life and I’m sure he’ll live on in the memories of those who knew him well and shared those adventures and experiences with him. I wish I’d have met him in different circumstances but it’s nice to think of him in his prime like this.
Tonight during the STW quiz, we should raise a glass to you blitz for being a true hero. Also a glass to Baz.
RIP.
It's a bit dusty in here.
Hi Blitz
Like a couple of others on here I, too, was a long time friend of Baz's way back from our Uni days.
Sadly, as is often the case, our paths didn't cross as often as I would have liked but we rode some good trails in our time (including a memorable trip over the N York moors and a great trip to Afan a few years back) but I take some comfort from him popping in out of the blue just a few weeks before he passed away. He just happened to be nearby having driven from Woking to Oxfordshire to find some abandoned car 🙂
It must have been a horrible situation to find yourselves in so I wanted to add my thanks to those above for what you did to help.
all the best
Graham
