Harry Prew Smith

I have just had a call from Brian Turner. He has visited Exclusive Cars Nottingham today and found that Harry Prew-Smith died on Christmas day after a long illness.

The funeral is tomorrow (8th) at 12.15 at St Judes, Woodborough Road, Nottingham.

I have only spoken to Harry on a couple of occasions so do not know who if anyone he was in touch with.

Re: Harry Prew Smith

Sorry to hear that. I had a few dealings with Harry, never a problem with him. ISTR he was instrumental in getting a batch of rear shock absorbers made a short while ago.

Roy Lane's been working on one of his buses and told me the other day that Harry was terminally ill, but wasn't aware of this.

My sympathy goes to hi family and staff.

Very sad news, I had known Harry for a few years. Harry was always fun to be around, I shall miss his cheery greetings and boundless enthusiasm for whatever was today's topic of conversation.
