Adrian ...I knew you from the South West Road Runners and Exeter Boxing Club. I didn't see you very often nowadays but working for the ambulance service, I sometimes drove past you after leaving the hospital , when going back to the ambulance station. I always stopped for a chat. I retired around 3 years ago and had not seen you for a while. I was very sad to see this obituary and will miss your smiling face and your very bad jokes. R.I.P. mate. Until we meet again.

Adrian helped me and many others as our boxing coach. Always there for us with a smile, a joke and honest, positive advice. We'll always remember you.

Ado I have so many fond memories of you. You made me laugh a lot, always interested in everything and everyone. Couldn't walk down any street in Exeter without bumping into someone you know and having a good old chinwag.
I always thought u looked like Richard Gere and thought it was cool that you were a boxing coach.
I loved listening to all your records and me and emma used to dance to the dubliners and thin lizzy and jethro Tull and dressed up in your clothes when u were at work. I even wore your jeans to school, so now you know ?
You were always kind to me and to my mum and my kids even got to enjoy a lift home with you from Elijah's party, always thought of others and willing to help anyone out with advice and kind acts.
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have my best friend Emma and the pleasure of meeting your brother and sisters and having fun times with them. So many memories of you and your fam. Hope you are at peace and rest now.
You will be missed by many and remembered fondly by all of us xxxxxxxxxxx
