Oh dear... I don't suppose it'll help much if I say that life does this sort of thing, but it does. You just carry on...
 
I'm so sorry for your loss mate, He will always be around while ever he is in your thoughts he will not be far away.

All the best, I've lost a couple close friends in the past so i have an idea how you feel, take care mate.

HH, I know what you are going through. It is sometimes a very scary feeling, especially when you get older. After a while it gets a bit lonely.
 
Thank you all very Much...

Hi Owen,

it never gets easier does it. A few weeks ago I attended the cremation of my best friend's father. Even though he'd been seriously ill for the last year, and he'd nearly died twice in that period, it still completely sucks when it finally happens. It was particularly poignant for me as they used the same crematorium and funeral directors as I used for both of my parents.

Roy was a great bloke who wasn't old enough to see wartime service, but in his national service served with the RAF as a fitter and worked on some of the last surviving Wellingtons. In his last years his eyesight was going so while he could see, my friend took him to Brooklands to see the Whimpy there. My friend spoke to them and because of his dad's RAF career with Wellingtons they allowed his Dad to look around inside it.

My thoughts are with you and your friends family.
