RIP, Ridley, 20100702

No one here knows who Ridley was, and actually, his name was not Ridley.  His name was Leslie Hill Johnson,and I have full permission of the family to write about him here.  I shall blockquote the funeral announcement in the text.

The name Ridley came about from him, his son, and all of us reading Kipling whilst drinking coffee when his son and I were around 12 years old.  He was a WWII and Korean War veteran, and he had tales to tell!  Some were better than others.  Ridley just came as a joke.
