Such a sad loss. Although I didn't know him like some of the member here, I can certainly tell what an incredible person he was. The fond memories of his posts and more so the get together's he attended makes it clear. May he rest in peace.

Had tons of fun joking around with him. Hard to believe he is gone.

Raising a glass in your honor tonight my friend, what a load of laughs I had with your posts and our banter.

Tim, she did check into TRF on 12/26/17, so she is still thinking of the group. I amend my earlier comment. I think it's OK to reach out. (Took me a while to find her user name on the Community section).

Well done, sir. My guess is she will appreciate that we are thinking of him.

Wow. I don't usually drink Chivas. I'm out of my usual stuff and it's what I have. I'm having one while I opened this post and it's what Mark's holding in his hand in this picture. RIP Mark. Miss you and your posts. You were a great guy. Salute

I recall those days fondly, Tim.
Massively miss them. Can a few more wankers and when it’s time, many years from now, you’ll be able to use the front door.

That was a great meet Mon. Mark, missing you very much, but you know that. Let's have a scotch. I have three tickets to Penn & Teller tonight, we are only two. I know you liked them.

Yes, I sold the stud, I can tell you that was one of the oddest experiences of my life, that in a time when the horse market was incredibly poor every horse sold and sold well, that they all bounced on the lorry to go to their new homes and are doing well. I moved and love where I live now and do an utterly stress free job. Its only now I'd say my brain is returning to normal, no one ever tells you how brutally physical grief like that is. I do pop in occasionally, still wearing the Sub and just about to treat it to a Toshi strap |

I never met him but fondly remember his posts when I used to lurk. I always got a kick out of the Long Haired General...I am sorry to hear he is gone.
