Very Sad News

[lady-janine]

I have just been informed by a friend and neighbour of Boatys that he had died.

He has been in very poor health recently as you all know. I have been in touch with both Boaty and his friends to try and keep a bit of eye on him but he is now at rest.

RIP Boaty. Joined at last with your beloved. x

Very sad to hear this news... I last spoke with him a few weeks back when he had been discharged from hospital and he clearly was quite poorly.... having been rather ill for some time but not wishing to make a fuss..he has quietly slipped away to be reunited with his much loved Vera..Rest in peace my friend ..it has been a pleasure xx

Oh my goodness. That is very sad.
We once had plans to meet up for lunch, but things got in the way. It’ll never happen now.
RIP Boaty.

He's the only ABer I met... he got stuck in traffic and had an 8 hour round trip, bless him.

I have "reported" it to ask that, minty. Hopefully, they will see.

Pixie - i know he was very concerned about something and determined to offer, in person, his help. A very kind man.

I have many of his recipes for cakes that he loved to bake..his cherry and pineapple is legendary...! along with his last Christmas card to me which, curiously, has just caught my eye from the CD rack beside the sofa ?
