Truly heartbreaking. The love and respect this great man showed me made me feel like one of his own. Every time I visited, he made sure I was well fed. I’ll never forget his mutton curry. It was so spicy and, being young, I made the mistake of accepting the fresh green chilli on the side - so many tears were held in that night. I was never made to feel unwelcome by him or his family. His hospitality and generousity was truly unmatched. He was so well known in his community and even beyond, that if I ever needed help with something - like a very last-minute MOT - Nav knew he could always find someone to sort it out. His experiences were so valuable, when he spoke, I listened, even when I didn't believe him - he taught me how to fit a fence post, but also how not to try and dispose of a freshly cut tree! Uncle, you and your infectious personality will be deeply missed. You might have moved on but you won't be forgotten, my man.
