Not sure how many people still visit here now, but I saw this on the Twitter profile of one of our members, Jonathan White (@jonbwfc)…

Quote:
It is with great sadness we have to report Jon passed away from cancer on the 24th August 2022. We miss you every day Jon, enjoy your tea.


Just thought I would post it here, some of you may already know if you’re following him on Twitter.

R.I.P Jon.
:(

Sheesh. (8+(
It's nice to know that even though we rarely get new posts here we were a close enough community that posts like this still matter.
Thanks for this, Steve.

Indeed, I was quite shocked to read it, I had missed it as his family only added the message to the Twitter profile biog, so it didn’t appear in my timeline. I knew Jon had been through treatment for cancer earlier in the year but had no reason to suspect it hadn’t been a success. Jon always came across as an intelligent, likeable guy - even if his viewpoint differed to others, his arguments were always reasoned and balanced. I never met him in person, but wish I had.

You forget this little community of ours dates back over 20 years in some cases, people are getting older and, although we’ve mostly all moved on from here, those links still exist and affect us when they’re no longer there.

Damn. I missed that.

I didn't even know Jon had been unwell. Shows how much notice I take.

RIP mate. :cry:

I don't come here much, maybe monthly so I've only just seen this.

Another forumite gone. RIP dude.
