I think its only right that we should remember members who have made an important contribution to the the forum, but are sadly no longer with us.
Most recently we had Terry Paget. An inspirational man, who in his 80,s was forever posting tales of what he had repaired on a car that day or asking for advice when he got a bit stuck.
Put many of us, a lot younger than him to shame. I would love to know where he got his energy from.
Quite a while back now we lost Vamps (Mike F) who was a long time and prolific poster on OOF and who was always in the thick of the fun and games.
Then all of a sudden he was gone.
Similar with Paul Lovejoy. Hadnt been on the forum as long as some, but quickly became something of a forum character.
He and his lovely wife came to my house not long before his sudden illness, and then demise, and we sat in the garden having a chat and cracking jokes etc.
It was a big shock when his wife posted what had happened to him not long after.
Not sure if Dirty Den should be included or not tbh. A man of great intellect, whose knowledge of the English language was on a Shakespearean level, but with a great sense of humour.
It was known he had health problems then suddenly disappeared.
Im sure there have been others, who dont come to mind just at the minute, but R.I.P. all of you.
