The late Roger de Ville.
It is with great sadness that I was informed of the sudden death of my good friend and colleague in the trade Roger de Ville… thankfully he was at home and he passed away quickly at the amazing age of 86 years old.
I first met Roger 25 years ago through exhibiting at Caroline Penman Fairs and I was introduced to him by his business partner and friend John Reid, and although it did take quite a long time for Roger to accept me into his ‘circle’ of friends as he didn’t like change, we soon became true friends for life.
