He was the finest example of a gentleman one could wish to meet, and his contribution to North Antrim life is still much missed. <br /><br />His son Alec wrote an excellent obituary of his father which appeared in the Guardian newspaper on 10 December 2008 (https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2008/dec/10/lt-col-sandy-cramsie-obituary). It describes well Sandy's full life and his many interests. Among them was his love of horses.
