Guys, now I'm really starting to worry about our Padi!!

Hey guys,

It's just not like our good friend, Padi, to remain absent from TRF for such a lengthy period of time without some kind of notification.

Does anyone here have any idea of his whereabouts and his health condition?

Poor guy's been in and out of surgery and under the knife quite a few times this last year. Trust all is well with him.

Please update us if anybody here has any kind of knowledge on his whereabouts.

Thanks - JJ

Not sure, Filip, but I think some of the older members have actually met him in person.

I've known him for well over FOUR long years and have always known him to be a true, loyal and very helpful friend!!

I believe he will be letting us know shortly what he's been up to. I've missed him very much - he is a major friend on this board.

Hi Allan,

Not sure what you mean. Has he been in contact with you or any of the other mods?

I'm really beginning to worry about that guy!!

I don't have any details, but Peter's not 100% healthwise at the moment. He's taking some time to rest and he'll be back when he's in better shape.

Although I don't know him I have read many past posts/threads and Padi is a true asset to this forum and I have missed his presence. I wish him the best and hope for a speedy recovery/return.

Thanks for the update, James. A few words of encouragement from all his friends on TRF might put a smile on his face.

Yes, Ragu....I was wondering the same thing. Getting a wee bit worried as it's not like Padi to stay away from TRF for such a lengthy period of time.

Hope all is well with him and his wife, Carol.

I think you may be referring to an old thread recently resurrected by a new post. There've been a couple of those lately, and he's in at least one of them.

My best wishes to PADI. Hope he's doing ok.
