Malcolm Bailey RIP

Had some sad news at the weekend - an old friend of mine from university days, Malcolm Bailey, died from a second brain tumour. He had battled against and defeated the first, but the arrival of the second seemed to be just too much.

We hadn't seen that much of each other in recent years with the geographical distance between us - always something one regrets afterwards. There's never much one can say under these circumstances. I hope that his widow Debbie and their children are coping.

Life certainly isn't very fair.

Hi Mike, I know this seems extremely weird but my name's Annie... and Malcolm is my dad. I was just wondering / hoping there was any chance you could tell me about him, at university, when he was young etc? I just feel that there are a lot of stories I should have been told and now it's too late. I hope this isn't too strange a request and that you could get back to me. anniebailey@hotmail.co.uk
