Bentos Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 A sad day, he was a delight to see when on my way to school on the Number 19 or 20 bus sunny day, is his gloves, directing the traffic rumors abounded a failed solicitor, divorce and drink, whatever the truth he brightened up my days as a wonderful eccentric passing the time R.I.P Marigold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Nooooooooo This news saddens me, Marigold was part of my upbringing- it became a game to see if you could spot him on our way home from school. Deffo a bright star among the many burning already........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marigold you put a smile on many peoples faces. Be good Sunshine. Reading that article he certainly sounded a character and also put smiles on local folks faces. Cant fault him. May he rest in peace.

Jaymo Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) It's the way he use to be beaming away constantly in his gloves and Donkey jacket if I remember rightly ( well it has been a fair few years) Totally harmless from what I have been led by others who met him. Edit, just read the piece from the Paper, no donkey jacket in the photos. Prob his winter attire :-) Edited May 8, 2015 by Jaymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Going to work at Norwich Airport was never quite the same after he 'retired'. The world is short of characters and he was certainly one of them. R.I.P. Marigold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolk dumpling Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 After he disappeared many years ago from our lives I thought it was the end of him. It was sad when he stopped directing traffic. Good to know a little more about his life. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
