On Friday 8
December after several months of illness, we lost a long
term Dial-a-Cab subscriber and I lost a dear friend, Mick
Daly (B45). Over a time span of around 30 years, I developed a friendship with Mick Daly that was based on an understanding of his values. He was a real family man, with a love for his wife and daughters that commanded respect from all who knew him. One couldn't help but like him. He had opinions about everything, especially the cab trade. We would banter and wind each other up over politics, religion and the state of the world in general. We would laugh together and |
make jokes at each other as only cab
drivers can - unless there was a lady present, when he would
be on his best behaviour! He was a real Cockney Cabby. |
helped the circuit become as strong as it is
today in the Square Mile. Over the course of time, he
acquired an encyclopaedic knowledge of who went where from
which account address! Mick had a great sense of humour and loved to "hold court" at any of the watering holes we chose as our venue. He enjoyed hearing about other drivers "roaders" and how they tackled the ride, often criticising the route taken with tongue in cheek just for the sake of it. This world is a sadder, duller place without him. Rest in peace Mick, I will really miss you… David Kupler (Y74) |
