Then the next day, yesterday I asked how he was doing and there was no reply. I didn’t bother him because he probably needed the rest and I knew his son was flying in. Then last night I started to worry because he usually replies, so this morning I asked if he was better and his son Scott replied to me saying Peter had passed yesterday. I asked for no further details. In times like these I choose to leave people be and managed their affairs. Scott is now probably dealing with Pete’s company, his brother, Allison ( who is a jewel), and I prefer to not add to that burden. from the timing I assume his funeral is either today or tomorrow, I can ask for you if you want to attend. Thanks for the offer Pedro but to be honest I’m not sure I could get along anyway, I was just thinking it would be nice to know when the service might be so I could spend a bit of time quietly thinking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed they have more than enough to get on with without further questions from us on details. I'd like to know about the funeral and if there could be a video link to it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 1 hour ago, Buckster said: This is the last of this kind of forum, Pete had a unique gift to make forums like these and put a lot of effort into driving them forward, proven by their decline once he hands them off to other people. Let’s hold this one together for him until the plug gets pulled and not let it go to hell in a hand cart. Indeed, he was great at making these run, had great pleasure in providing a place for a few people spread all over the world to meet. And in fact no other forums have the same kind of vibe, we did share our dislike for a couple of members (I'm glad she's gone, he wasn't) but all he really wanted for the place was to keep it alive. I know nothing of internet and computers and servers, but I know you do, so now that you're running it please remember that there's a few people here who would like to help with costs if there's any involved, I would. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busabeast Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Might I suggest that we should probably increase number of people on the team running the forum just to help out so it's not all just sat on 2 people's shoulders 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have admin access or control of the domain name, software and hosting, without that I can do nothing in the long term. I could set another place up at some point but we would lose everything here, as I say, this is not the time to think about this. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six30 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 3 hours ago, Buckster said: A week ago he was riding the gay moped exploring abandoned shit and indulging is secret liaisons with midgets. I also know he was looking at getting a new bike. Now he’s gone. Just shows how fragile life is. My thoughts are with his family, especially his wife, this really is a shock. I know he would expect me to say this so I won’t let him down. Wouldn’t have happened if @Six30 had got the mod gig.

I really don't feel confortable asking him questions just out of curiosity, Pete was in hospital after a heart attack so the medical specifics of it aren't really important to me. I have asked him to give Pete's wife my number, in case she needs a friend to talk to over whatever it might be. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I saw this the other day and this morning I was going to post it up on here because I knew it would make Pete laugh out loud. However, then I read Pedro’s post and it seemed pointless and irrelevant. However, now the sad news has sunk in I’m starting to remember Pete’s sick sense of humour and I think he’d appreciate it anyway. Here you go Pete, you daft Welsh twat. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 This truly is shit news! I thought that things were looking up when he was moved out of ICU. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of it about! Mandy's old boss was chatting to people on the Saturday and died of multiple organ failure on the Sunday. We don't know, but we suspect from Sepsis. To go downhill that fast! Anyway, I'm concerned for Pete's wife. Not only has she lost her husband, but could also be in a very precarious position with remaining in Spain, if that's what she wishes to do! Hopefully the boys will rally around and make sure that she's looked after. RIP Pete. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
