Yorks…My old shipmate from the Blake as well as the Coventry. I will miss you mate, I was looking forward to seeing you again over the next few years – sadly that will never happen now. I will always remember you as a good laugh, and a professional RP who always had the right answer. Rest in peace my old friend.

Deeply saddened by the loss of our ship mate. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP shippers,I will miss you. Eternal Father, strong to save. Whose Arm hath bound the restless wave. Who bids the mighty Ocean deep. Its own appointed limits keep. Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee. For those in peril on the sea! See you in the next Port Sailor Paul

To a shipmate "I miss you right now but lets look forward to a run ashore sometime later" there is no goodbye just later Mate as you got drafted to a better place that I hope to be some day....

Just had a call from Jock Rutherford about Yorkie's passing. My condolences to his friends and family - he was a great guy, shipmate and friend. We shared a liferaft in the South Atlantic on 25th May 1982. Rest In Peace, Yorkie, and if there's a pub in heaven have a cold one with our other shipmates

I know that he was a Wpns electrical mechanic,don't know what rate/rank i'm afraid, i know he lost some close friends that day as you all probably did but i've been told he was cleaning the deck or guns or something the day the rocket hit where he normally worked! Thanks for your reply. simon
