Homage to Vernon Nash- We’re all thinking of you on your birthday
Vernon Nash, my husband of 32 and life partner of 34 years died on Monday, 1st of July 2019.
Today, 29th August 2024 is his 79 birthday. We are all thinking of you, darling! XXX
For Vernon, from Sue
How can I describe Vernon? Always on the ball, Forever curious and anxious to know more, Eager to tell me his latest story or discovery with that characteristic passion and enthusiasm...while playing his favourite music...or mine...he never forgot what that was... He knew something interesting about everything...and everything about so many things, A man of many talents, he was a musician, a linguist, a teacher, a writer. But for me, more than anything, he was a very dear friend... Vernon has left his mark on us all and he will be sorely missed, that is for sure... But let us celebrate his life and all he gave us... and let us smile fondly whenever we think of him... I know I will... Sue
Jane’s “set music to listen to” list
Vernon, the music lover and the teacher
As requested, Vernon’s music recommendations for me. I’ll enjoy listening to them thinking of the happy times we had… It’s a treasured list -now I’d better get all the pieces together and listen to them…he’ll be looking down on me 🙂 nice for others to know his favourite classical music. Xxxx

Homage to Vernon
We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to say “So long” and “Farewell”.
My deepest condolences for your husband’s loss. Reading this post, it goes without saying that you will be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Thanks so much, Assumpta.
I only knew Vernon for about 6 months in 92/93 when I worked for Sheffield Language Services teaching Oposiciones and also at the ministry, but I’ve thought of him often over the years. I could tell instantly that he had a good heart. How can someone who we barely know touch our soul so deeply? Because our soul is nourished by warmth and goodness and does not bother marking time.
Thank you, Martin, for your beautiful words. I’m sure Vernon’s loving it! I will find the time and keep my promise of reproducing excerpts from his “life of sorts”.
I had a most entertaining interview with Vernon in 92 in Madrid. He offered me a job but something else had come up and I recommended Martin to him who worked with you for the next six months. Every time I saw Martin during that period he had a Vernon story. A waspish sense of humour but full of heart. All these years later he still comes up in our conversations now! Un gran abrazo Paloma, mi corazón está contigo.
Thanks, Mark.
