Gadge has left us.

Post by bladeracer » 12 Dec 2023, 11:07 am

Just received a call to say that Gadge (Doug) died last week of a massive heart attack.
I haven't seen him since late September, though I drive past his place regularly.
Funeral on the 19th in Morwell - if anybody needs details drop me a line.

Very sorry to hear that. He was always a good contributor. RIP.

A reminder to all of us to "get on with it".

His health kept him away for a couple years but he popped back in earlier this year.
Shotgun competition was his forte but he's struggled to get out to shoots for a few years due to his old leg injuries - yep, another motorcycle rider.

Yes, he had a Guzzi in the shed, and I think a sidecar under a tarp.
