Taff offered me a job when I left the mob. A really nice guy.
Condolences to his family.
RIP

Taff was Bugle Major at Pompey when I arrived there in '79.
This is a wee tale that I'll never forget.
I got done for not getting my hair cut the day before going on Xmas leave, Taff gave me some advice which backfired. At the pre - leave drinks in the band room he slipped me half of my fine and apologised for dropping me further in it.
A true gent.
Tony. R.I.P.

Thanks for letting us know Errol. Tony was from the old school and was admired for his wit and strong being. We often met at Canterbury CC and talked the time away remembering the good and not so good times when serving in the RM. RIP Tony you'll never be forgotten.  |

That is sad news I knew Taff very well at Deal,last I heard was that he was working at Canterbury Court with Brian "jock" Dunn. Another good stycky blue has slipped his cable and gone aloft.

I had the very great pleasure of serving with Taff at Eastney he was a Cpl. He then made Sgt. and took on the roll of Company QM. We used to have some great runs ashore. at The time George Castle was Bgl/Maj. Porstmouth. He liked playing Table Tennis.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his freinds and Family.
RIP Taff long will the memories last
