Formerly a farmer himself, he worked for many years with the Farmers Journal, and in his recent years he was the motoring editor of the Sunday Business Post.
He will be missed by his family, and his very many friends around the world, for his knowledge, generosity of spirit, wit and ability to pick a very fine wine. A global traveller, he also had an extensive appreciation of good cuisine in many countries, and a great knowledge of local customs and culture.
No funeral arrangements have yet been announced.
May he rest in peace.
