“Vicky was one of the most beautiful, lovable people,” said Kingsway High School medic, Chris Botha. “I knew him for many years and we worked together, even though we worked for different services. He was respectful and it didn’t matter what service you worked for, he was friendly and helpful. He is a true loss to the emergency services.”
