Neill the Notorious

A while since I posted on here, but I was trawling through some archives for a particular bit of info, when my memory was jogged about Neill the Notorious. He seemed to go missing a couple of years ago and no-one could turn up any information about him. Out of interest I just googled his full name (Neill Purdie Evans) and found the following:
EVANS NEILL PURDIE (Captain) Died after a short illness on 24th November 2014 in the Coronary Care Unit at Royal Bournemouth Hospital. Missed already by Anne, sons Rupert and Marcus and all the family. Funeral service to be held at Poole Crematorium on Thursday 4th December at 12 noon. No dark clothing please. Family flowers only. Donations if desired for Diabetes UK may be sent to Douch & Small F.D., 7 Leigh Road, Wimborne BH21 1AB. Tel: 01202 882936. Donate online at funeraldirector.co.uk/neill-evans.
It all fits - his wife was Anne, and he was diabetic and supported Diabetes UK. I can't remember whether he lived in Bournemouth/Poole. But I think it must be him. I'll put a mention in the next Old Blue - if anyone feels they knew him well enough to write a full obituary I'd be grateful to hear from them.
