It is with great sadness that I have to announce the passing of one of the loveliest cab drivers I have ever known. Mark Sherlock (61) who has lost his 20 months battle with a brain tumour, was a dear friend and much loved colleague.
I first met Mark at a trade org meeting in 2010, he said he liked my blog but the spelling was dreadful.
I explained that I had a mild form of dyslexia that affected mainly my reading ability, so once written, I rarely read back through my posts. Mark offered to proof read and correct posts and within days the blog took on a new professional look, all down to Marks efforts.
Unfortunately a few years down the line as we had rocked a few boats, the blog came under heavy attack with threats of legal action to all those involved. So I had to distanced myself from the others connected with the Anderson Shelter and carried on alone. Obviously the blog standard noticeably dropped without Marks help. But we did manage to stay in touch through social media and the occasional meeting.
Mark, an established Soul Music DJ, shared my passion for music from the late 60s early 70s. As a young man I would regularly visit the West End clubs and everytime we met, Mark would always turn our conversation back to this time.
It was always such a pleasure to see Mark walk through the door at the Royal Oak Or Camley Street and I can honestly say, I've never heard anyone criticise or have anything bad to say about him.
My life has been enriched by knowing Mark and my heart goes out to his family and friends.
Mark was a face that turned up at virtually every Taxi Trade Demo.
