My Poor Neighbour Who Burnt Himself.

[SparklyKid]

Died during the night. Ambulance and police been.

Horrible seeing a pal crumpled up on the floor, cold and stiff.

R.I.P. Jim.

His wife is housebound and has regular carers. I shall go and see her later after whatever needs to be done.

Sad sp. I’m sorry .

[pastafreak]

Oh goodness, that's so sad.

[ummmm]

Awful. His poor wife :-(

[SparklyKid]

I got her shopping yesterday including his favourite crumpets.
She rings Spar with her order and I collect it. They have stopped delivering.

Son lives down South, not sure what will happen next.

[Old_Geezer]

How awful. Good luck with the helping hand. And my commiserations to all.

[SparklyKid]

Cheers folks.

[murraymints]

On dear how very sad

[maggiebee]

That's just so sad. You sound like a good neighbour who will do anything you can for his wife.

So sorry to see that, sparkly. Very sad. RIP Jim xx

[calmck]

Sorry to hear this. You had done so much for them. RIP.
Take care of yourself

[Togo]

That is sad Sparkly. You have been a stalwart help for your neighbours but do remember to take time out for yourself. It would knock even the most steadfast of us to have this on your mind and so close to home.

Sorry to hear of your loss Sparky. Always sad to lose a good pal. I am sure you are doing all you can to assuage his wife's grief.Keep up the good work. Well done.

[Mamyalynne]

Condolences on the loss of your pal.

[Cloverjo]

Oh dear, Sparkly. What a horrible thing to happen.

[Lie-in King]

Sorry to read your sad news, my condolences.

[SparklyKid]

Their son is driving up from Cambridge.

[Sqad]

That must have been a severe burn that killed him or was his death unrelated to his burn?

[SparklyKid]

Hi Mr Sqad. His burns seemed to have healed well. It was back in May when he got burnt.

He had polio as a child and was a bit doddery on his legs. Fallen over a few times.

He was 80 in June. He had lost weight and did not seem to b e eating properly.

Maybe his body was just tired.

Sorry to see this Sparklykid, you're a good neighbour there's no doubt

Earlier in the year 'he burnt himself leaning over the gas hob to light a fag'
