You'll be missed Ken Sharrock.[]
I met Ken Sharrock back in 1996 when i worked as a Night Porter in the Imperial Hotel, Llandudno. He was soaked through to the bone as it was raining at 1.30am and he needed a room for the night. After giving him a good discount on a room for a few hours, Ken proceeded to the bar and had a pint (he was a guest of the hotel afterall, so why not?). I stood there at the bar talking too him for a good hour or so, and found him to be a very disarming person, great sense of humour and a very genuine person. He even left me a good note with the Management which was fantastic!
After a evening of talking about the past with my good lady, i decided to see how ken was getting on only to find he passed away in 2005. I'm sorry to see that such a lovely chap has left us, and i pass on my thoughts and best wishes to his family, allbeit several years later.
