I met Mr. Considine my first time in the late sixties at the Considine's home in Mayfair.I was going somewhere with one of his children. I was on the cusp of manhood but not quite there. Mr Considine put me at ease as soon as I walked through the door, as did Mrs. Considine. He greeted me with a big smile, engaged me in conversation and I felt special after meeting him. Over the years I had the opportunity to see Mr. Considine more than a few times and each time I was greeted in this manner and acknowledged as an old friend. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be missed by many. My condolences go out to the entire family, Sam.
