To the family, you need know your dad had quite an impact and influence on me and I believe all the NU rugger’s who played for him.  I just want it known that I thank him for the opportunity to play rugby . To have the chance to tour England and Wales .   Appreciate the karate lessons and friendship of your family.  Lastly, Rufus I will always remember you for who you were, a coach, friend and a unique and ever present cornerstone of Norwich Rugby.

I will never forget you.

Rest In Peace, love ya.

With You!
