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.

  • Dear Mrs Codger,

    Sorry to bring this topic back to the fore, but I felt that I would also give my condolences.

    I believe that I only had indirect communication with Classic Codger, however I was always entertained by his opinion (where it was not directed to help people). He seemed to ‘fit the bill’ as a ‘crochety grampa’ (or, at the very least, reminding me of my own grand-parents).

    Additionally, with his significant life experience, he always seemed to manage to find something relevant, and helpful, to say to those in need (looking through the forum’s history, I’m sure you can see what I mean).
