Apologies for contacting you out of the ...Dear Mark<br />Apologies for contacting you out of the blue.<br />I was searching the internet for an old family friend Mr Funaoka of Tomoe Engineering when I noticed your blog The Hammonds of Kanazawa about your great friendship.<br />I would very much like to send him the sad news of the passing of my father Captain Bruce Murray who passed away on July 9th this year. <br />I wonder I might impose and ask you if you could let Mr Funaoka know. Bruce lived in Japan for some time in the 1960’s (when there were few Europeans there) working with Tomoe as he established the manufacture under licence of some of our machines. Bruce fell completely in love with the country, its culture and traditions and made several deep friendships with colleagues at Tomoe. Ursula (Bruce’s wife), Pippa and I (Bruce’s twin daughters) met Mr Funaoka some over 20 years ago on 2 trips to Tokyo and remember him warmly. <br />In his later years Bruce’s health was a little fragile so he was not able to maintain contact with some of the friends that he valued so highly.<br />Kind regards<br />Amanda (Amanda.murray@dasic-mairne.co.uk)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224604866613799294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28838635.post-5942013870239268652013-12-12T20:00:43.731+09:002013-12-12T20:00:43.731+09:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14154849461824960674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28838635.post-72440255259850925412013-09-17T20:21:01.108+09:002013-09-17T20:21:01.108+09:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607952207648372406noreply@blogger.com
