in here!As most of you all know I imported an XM 2 years ago from Malaysia that was owned byan ex-pat Citroen owner, Harry Boswell.
I've returned from holiday today to find an email from Harry's wife Stephanie informing me that Harry unfortunately passed away last month.
It came as news to me that Harry had been fighting cancer for over 10 years. Unfortunately last month he couldn't take it any more.
I'm sure all the other like minded Citroen enthusiasts will join me, sending our condolences to Harry's wife, Stephanie.
Stephanie has asked me to pass this on to the Citroen clubs that Harry used to visit, I know he used to visit XM-L, if anyone is aware of any others, I'd be grateful if they could let me know.
David.
RIP, Harry Boswell, Ex-Pat XM Owner

Re: RIP, Harry Boswell, Ex-Pat XM Owner
Thanks for posting this David, a great loss indeed.
I know its already been on XM-L but I suspect many here would have known Harry and spoken to him over the years.
He was a true gent, always friendly and helpful, and certainly went the extra mile for fellow Citroen enthusiasts, as you David will know from experience.
Like many here in the XM community, Harry was a brilliant engineer. This led to him being involved in many energy efficiency projects, such as 'Cooltek' out in Malaysia, where he gained a great deal of respect also, since he and Stephanie retired there. You wouldn't even have known he was ill, he didn't let it stop him going about his business!
He was always really interesting to talk to whenever we traded messages on XM-L, had a keen eye for detail and knew exactly what he was getting at.
A sad loss, but certainly never forgotten. Our condolences to Stephanie of course.
Look after that XM of his David! (as if you didn't already but you know what I mean:) )
