I'm sorry to hear about Adrian and although I haven't met him,  I had heard that he was in poor health.    It was sad also to hear of the death of his wife who died not so long ago.
I enjoyed the quizzes that we took part in and Yorkie was very good at them and always seemed to get the right answers to most of the questions that I set

I wasn't aware his wife had died, earlier this year. She was very pleasant.

Adrian and I continued to play Scrabble online on a daily basis.
He never let a day go by without progressing our games.
He last made a move over 5 days ago, and I did begin to worry about him.
However, since his dear wife passed, he told me that his social life and general health had significantly improved.
So when I heard this news, it was quite a shock.

This is very bad news. I knew both his wife and himself well. Originally through the forum and also through the inst of advanced motorists of which both of us were members before he had a quarrel with them and left. How sad. I will have constant reminders of him. We used the same cafes. I bought a generator and a submersabul pump off him. In the summer I use them frequently

I also knew to an extent his father in law. His wife’s maiden name was G’dad. Her father was Geoff gad. Of the accountants Aston, Parkinson and gadd from colwyn bay. Her family home was on the Cayley embankment. She and I were both children from Rhos although I imagine she was a fair bit younger than me

Spell checker messes it up. I keyed in GADD and it printed g'dad

Ian, I received your PM.
But there was no mechanism for me to reply!
