I was only alerted to this sad news today when Mike Butler messaged me. I knew Ade since about 2010/11 and he had become a good friend. We always had a chat at shows and he was a fascinating guy to speak to, passionate about so many different things. Ade was a huge supporter of Tommy's War and I'll always be thankful to him. Mike placed a link where he'd made an impassioned plea during my July sale. Unfortunately I didn't see that until today and I never got the chance to thank Ade personally.
I'm shocked and saddened by the news, I've lost two good modelling buddies this year alone and it really does put things in to perspective. My thoughts are with his family, who he spoke of on many occasions, and I know he was incredibly proud of them.
Thanks for all your support and friendship Ade.
