Shelagh said: "About four years ago Bas began to suffer seizures."He was diagnosed with a tumour. It turned out to be benign. However, they could not operate."But he was very positive and we realised he would just have to learn to live with it and the occasional seizures."She added: "I'm just totally numb. I can't believe he's gone. Everybody loved Bas. He was so funny."He loved films and vintage cars. He was always smiling and loved life. A lovely, lovely man."Bastiaan worked for Mair's Coaches, First and Arnold Clark.
