Thomas WILSON Obituary

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Hugh and Shannon+Arthur (whom I never had a chance to meet),

You will not remember me but Tom and I were good friends when we were students at Charterhouse. A fellow student alerted me to Tom's tragic death around a week ago. I have not been able to obtain any telephone number or email address to contact you so I am hoping this reaches you in lieu of a proper letter.

I'm afraid I have had little contact with most of my contemporaries from that time for almost two decades, including Tom sadly. Despite this, I remember Tom as being one of my closest friends of that time. We were both more or less obsessed with BMX in our youth. I have since been swayed by other sports and hobbies but I understand he kept his enthusiasm as I suspected he would. He was a much more dedicated chap than I ever was.

As a friend, and shamefully I only realise this in hindsight, he was one of the most amusing, forgiving, encouraging, enthusiastic, kind and interesting of my school contemporaries I had the pleasure of meeting and I will miss his memory and mourn his loss.

My deepest sympathy and sorrow,

Hugo Jeffreys

My thoughts and prayer are with you Andrew and Jennifer at this sad time

Andrew and Jennifer. We are really sad to read about the loss of your son. Thinking of you.
