I dont have his number but i do know he is on FB, maybe one of the forum members could help out here with his details.

Post by: Shamless2 on August 05, 2012, 18:24:01 PM: Do you have any idea of when the funeral will be? We are over on Friday and would be honoured to attend, but I'm assuming it will be before that as is the Turkish way.

Post by: Denton on August 07, 2012, 14:05:43 PM: I would recommend David Groom who has done many funerals and comes from Ovacik.
You can contact him on 0537 985 9021. He is a lay preacher and would help if he can.
