Gill (Little Tassie Devil) has proudly extolled the many virtues of her dad Cyril Tanner, who died recently (Letters, June 5).
Cyril was a good friend of mine for very many years.
We cultivated adjoining plots on the North Nevill Allotment site in Hove, exchanging seeds and plants and helping each other in various ways.
He was a superb handyman and willingly used his skills for the benefit of others.
Cyril had a tremendous affection for his wife Dot and their family.
Gill is so right - the world would be a safer place with more people like her dad.
He was "the salt of the earth" - I shall never forget him.
-Jim Marshall, MBE, QPM, Goldstone Crescent, Hove
