Bob Green Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Morning Everyone, My dad asked me to post this message earlier in the week as I know he has many people on this forum that he was in contact with. Sadly my dad passed away yesterday after putting up a strong fight with his illness. I know he has spent many hours on this site helping people/discussing problems with other members and made some friendships here along the way. He recently also started going to race meetings and taking photos of the cars in action for people for publication and personal requests which he very much enjoyed. My dad has always spoke highly of this web site and its users which was always a joke in our house about how important it was for him to log in daily to catch up on the newest topics :-) I would like to thank people who have had conversations and shared jokes with my dad and to the forum owners who I believe was working with dad in publishing photos that my dad had taken. Thank you Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 A terrible loss to you and your family, and to his extended family here in the WSCC. Not much I can say apart from sending the sincere condolences of the entire club. Your father will always be remembered with great fondness. Very, very sorry indeed - a sad day for us all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Ray, heartbreaking news for all your family, it's not that long since I spoke to Bob, helping with some of the photography stuff, he was so looking forward to getting out and about this year. Please accept and pass on to the rest of your family my personal condolences, (Scott has summed it up for the club so eloquently) It's a true mark of the man that he will be missed so deeply by so many people, and will be remembered so fondly. RIP Bob Dave Eastwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
