In His Own Words
About him
My wife died suddenly last year after 49 years of marriage. I worked for the Civil Service, retiring as a manager after 34 years. I started my career in Nottingham and moved to Kent on promotion. I have 2 children who live with partners. I enjoy sailing and looking to buy another boat. I particularly like traveling in comfort, particularly cruising and I would like to complete the final part of my circumnavigation from Sydney to Singapore. I also own a house in Tenerife. I had polio at the age of 18 months and as a result had my left amputated below the knee when I was 12 years old. My disability has never stopped me doing what I wanted to do. I enjoy pottering about and a quiet life. I am not into retail therapy! I am quite tech savy. I am a fan of Andre Rieu and have been to his last 2 Maastricht concerts. I have tickets for the next Maastricht concert covering both the concert and 3 nights accommodation with a view of the Virhof!
About his ideal match
Someone who is easy to get on with. Personality over looks, but equally someone who takes pride in how they look. They must like travel/holidays.
