Goodbye Broadscot

[Hockham Admiral]

With the deepest regret I have to report that Iain died on Christmas morning. He had been five weeks in hospital.

I am in contact with his family; further details soon.        

[SwanR]

Such sad news.

Prayers and heartfelt condolences to his family. 

[Hylander]

Such a shock,   lovely Iain,  so sad,   such a fantastic chap,   did us proud on here as a mod.   Friendly approachable, fun.

Our thoughts are with Iain's family at this sad time.

To Jean's comment I would add that I have lost a real friend that I never met. I rather suspect that we shall all miss Iain's quiet wisdom. Farewell my friend.

 

If a wreath or flowers are to be sent I would like to contribute.
