His quality of life has been poor for the last 18 months,so I'm glad he's finally at peace. 94 is a fair total,considering he was still a remarkably active man at 90. More fortunate that a lot of folk.

Rest easy Johnny.
Sorry for your loss.

That's a decent age. And good you could be with him at the end. I'm glad he is at peace now.

Take care of yourself, even though you knew it was coming it is still a big event.

Sending all our love.

Peace and grace to you and your family. Good to hear he was active and enjoyed life into his late years. I hope you all have time to share memories and to ease each others grief. Blessings.

90 years of vitality isn’t bad going.

I’m sure I’ve got a bottle of Tyrconnell in amongst the Scotch’s - I’ll raise a glass tonight Davy.

Take care Johnny

Sat in another hotel bar ordering Deliveroo. I feel like a modern day Alan Partridge, been away 3 days a week for the last 4 weeks. Only going to get worse with the amount of projects we're juggling at work. My trip to set up the infrastructure in our Lviv, Ukraine office has been 'postponed' though...

Got a puncture and just discovered that, although I have a spacesaver wheel, the locking wheel nut key is missing :(

Currently waiting 2 hours for the AA. So if anyway happens to be near the Kettering A14 services and has an Audi type F locking key then do pop by :)

Every car I've owned gets those fuckers removed. The only purpose they serve is a potential ballache. WTF steals wheels off cars now anyway?
