For those who know Classic Codger

MrsCodger

Hi,

For those who remember and communicated with Classic Codger and have wondered about his absence from the Forum since March this year.

I'm sorry to tell you, he hadn't really deserted any of you, he was actually having a serious debate with illness. Unfortunately, this debate did not end well and he sadly left us on Thursday, 23rd June 2016.

As his wife and on behalf of our family, I would dearly like to thank all of you who contributed to making him feel welcome and valued in this community. He spent many happy hours trying to offer guidance to those he related to and even more happy hours receiving the encouragement and support that was freely given by you all. For the most part, his life was certainly enriched knowing that he finally belonged somewhere.

I hope he has been missed here, he's certainly being missed at home.

Thank you all again, keep up the good unacknowledged work you all do.

  • Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts regarding the loss of CC.

    During his last months I would read the discussions to him so he could keep up to date with what was being said, I can't begin to tell you his frustration at not being in a position to respond, but at least he could still feel part of the Community.

    'Sox, you're right, you didn't always see eye to eye, but he always had a healthy respect for diversity and a good debate! I would also like to thank you for putting the link on CC's post as I've subsequently read messages on there that I would otherwise have missed.

    I will continue to drop into the Forum to see who's doing what, during the time CC was contributing I was always an avid follower and truly believe all your contributions helped me to understand that unique man even more.

    Regards,

    MrsC
