Re: On the Mend Again
Hello John, yes this is the time life stops giving and starts taking, it's nature and comes to us all. Sadly Fouro passed away not too long after he lost his wife, I always thought
he was a good man and a very interesting bloke to talk to, can't remember the mont Fouro died as as I had a lot going on in my own life. To my knowledge, Caappy stopped posting
some time ago and seems to have left the site, hopefully he is well, and just taking a break, I will als take a break now and write a thread begin writing a thread.
Wish you all the best Joohn, take care mate.

Re: On the Mend Again
#12 No John , Cappy passed away also,I had an email from his grandson thanking those on site who had put in their condolences. I asked him to keep in touch with site as would probably be more. Cappy also known as John Capps was a very generous and honourable man to know, and from lowly beginnings made a good job of the business world in latter life , he had a wife and family to be proud of they were proud of him also no doubt. I think his passing was unexpected and of short notice. Regards JS
