Sad News

FLYING BANANA · 6th June 2014, 20:16

Grandy, Gary, has asked me to let you all know that on the 24th of May his wife of 50 years sadly passed away. It would be much appreciated that Gary was given time to come to terms with his loss.

Grandy has also said that he has not forgotten the many friends that he has made on this forum and that he is thinking of you all.

And the last bit of news that I have from Grandy is that he regrets selling his beloved Rover 75. "The Rover had soul, the Audi A4 has none". Grandy's words not mine.

Condolences Gary, I have only been married 25 year and I would be lost without my soul mate, I cannot begin to pretend to know how you must feel .....

Thank you Bob, I did know about Gary's wife but as he asked for privacy I did not mention it to anyone. He also is a man of honour and his word. He regrets the sale and nothing can be done about about it. All we can do is to give him our love and friendship through this difficult time, and our condolences. Thanks for letting us know Bob sir!
