We are all incredibly sad to have lost such a special person from our lives but we are also immensely proud that Plamen was able to save the life of a young child. His display of concern for others was typical of the man we all knew and the way he lived his life. Plamen always made time to help others, and as a family we have all been touched by his kindness and generosity which he displayed each day. We are grateful for the messages of support from everyone Plamen came into contact with both in and out of work - he leaves a huge gap in our lives and will be missed by us all. We would like to thank his friend and the woman for the huge effort they made to try to save Plamen's life and to people for the kind comments made about Plamen and his part in returning the child safely to the shore. In these extremely difficult days, we want to use this unfortunate opportunity to stress our concern with the dangerous waters like those at West Wittering around the UK coast and are keen to call for additional positive safety measures to be put in place in order to prevent future tragedies of a similar nature occurring again. We are looking at how we may support the local community in this area who share this concern in the hope that these changes might be an appropriate way of honouring Plamen's name and courageous act.
