Ken Poolan wasn’t just a lifelong friend of mine, but also a friend and supporter of our local Multiple Sclerosis Group, which he nominated for his charity award at work. Here is Ken presenting me with a cheque for £1,000, at our lads' night out (old school friends), at The Stags Head in Byker, on Friday 24th. June, 2016, which was awarded to North Tyneside Multiple Sclerosis Society by the charity award lad's onboard Gannet Alpha.
Ken’s thoughtfulness brought a good few thousand pounds into the Group’s funds, thank you Ken.
One year has passed since you left us, and I still miss you so very much.
