Nick Moore - class act

Nick Moore was not only a class act as a journalist, he was also an unusually pleasant person. Even-tempered, with a fount of good stories and a dry sense of humour, he was great company. We joined Reuters in the same year (through different avenues) and never worked together but our paths crossed on a number of big stories and one of the things I remember most was his positive outlook on things. I never saw him foul-tempered. ■
