The tale of 2 homes side by side, 2 neighbours, living in peace and harmony, 2 neighbours ready to assist at a moments notice.
Time takes no prisoners and so the tale of 2 homes side by side for so long becomes now only a brief short story of 2 buildings side by side in anticipation of what the future will hold.
Tommy will be missed, just as Alex is, but already has created a void in a cul-de-sac that was isolated and was in effect its own fiefdom. Good neighbours are hard to find and even harder to hold on to. Until the clock goes full circle when we will meet again, may he rest in peace.
