Brewers
I have been touched by the outpouring of sympathy and grief from brewers literally around the world, on this forum, HBD, BJCP and private email. He was well loved.
I have been asked for ideas on how to memorialize Ant. Here is an email from his wife, Leonora, with what I think is a wonderful idea:
"It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that I have to do this. As much as Nicola, Daniel and I have lost you have as well. Ant touched everyone that he met and made us all feel special. We will be holding a funeral service for him on Thursday, 12 May at 3 pm. The service will be held at St. John's Church, Foxbush, Hildenborough, TN11 9HT. Tea will follow in the hall.
Thanks for all you messages, condolences and love. I would appreciate it if you would not send flowers but rather donate to "Holding On, Letting Go".

This is a charity that specialises in supporting grieving children of Nicola and Daniel's age. Please don't feel obligated to do donate. Your love and support is enough for us. "I know from my own mother's experience how a parent's suicide can have lasting mental health harm if unaddressed, and I am so glad that this organization is available for Ant's children.
I encourage you to contribute if you knew Ant, and perhaps your local homebrew club can do so as well. AABG is.
