The Simpsons from the Manse all have such fond memories of Alex and Rosie. The Thomsons were our second Riverton family - the fireworks nights, watching TV in the dark, hearing Alex's van pull up in the driveway we knew it was time to go home for tea, learning to ride a bike at the Thomsons, walking to school and waving to Alex in the shop......... Love to Anne, Allan and families. Ruth Arnison

RIP my friend. Many a laugh had over the years and many a whisky taken. You can't fly on one wing!! A great source of information and help to me in my years as Secretary of the Golf Club. I loved our conversations about all sports you were always sharp as a tack. You and Rosie showed our family so much kindness and we will always cherish that. Fly high my friend. Slainte!

It was precious to see these 2 chatting together this year at the end of February. Dad will miss him dearly (as Mum missed Rosie). He would love to be there as they have been great life-long friends who have had many holidays and laughs together.
