Ten-6 ..... I'm glad you posted a pic - I was going to ask you to do just that.
This is no sob fest, you great daft bugger. It is absolutely the right place to post a few thoughts.
There is not one person on this forum who wouldn't pass on their thoughts and condolences in a dignified way befitting your friend. Very sad news but I hope these posts help you a little. Maybe show his family, too? x
