Jerry,my friend
About 45 years ago my friend Jerry introduced me to scuba diving. We dived off the coast of Ireland and down into the depths of a local marine lake, and my love of the underwater world was born. Diving has been a major part of my life since then, and has given me huge pleasure.
Earlier today Jerry died, having been under the palliative care team for a while. Though I hadn't seen him for years, I am quite emotional. I never got the chance to thank him for opening my eyes to life underwater and to tell him how important it has been in my life.
Thanks Jerry, and RIP my friend.
