Roger (Ed) Cayton

It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Roger (Ed) Cayton at the age of 63.

 

He and I first met aged 13 or 14 at the Welwyn Garden City MRC clubrooms, and later we became Engineering Apprentices together at ICI.

 

We both developed interest not only in railways both model and real, but also a deep love of traditional and contemporary folk music, and also an enthusiasm for kit cars (Ed had an Arkley SS, I eventually built a Marlin Cabrio, spurred on by his enthusiasm).

 

He was Best Man at our Wedding in 1979, and though I saw less of him as our lives followed different subsequent paths, we still met occasionally.

 

He leaves behind two sons, Ken and Sam, who have yet to get the railway bug, but I'm sure they will eventually.

Only just picked this thread up, but I'm sorry to hear of Roger's passing.

 

Although I can't claim we were close friends, I do remember Roger from Welwyn Garden City MRC in around 1969-70. My sympathies are with his family.
