RIP Walter

Sad news that an old friend, died yesterday. Walter Ferguson was a
lovely man, generous and kind who gave a lot and didn't ask much back.
I met Walter when I started working for Waverley Excursions. During
the winter when the two ships were laid up, and the crew away, Walter
would take on all of the nautical charts which filled up his spare
bedroom for six months. He would correct and annotate as required so
that at the beginning of the sailing season they were all ready to go.
I shall miss him, it was only last week that we were out for lunch and
he had the three of us back for coffee and a Garabaldi biscuit, when
available.
God Bless you Walter, I hope that the view from up there is as good as
from your flat in Greenock.
P.S. Walter's funeral will be held at Greenock Crematorium on Thursday 24th Jan. at 12:00
