Sad News - Our friend, Roydo

Thanks for the suggestion. Its very easy, takes a minute to do. Was going to do it when it was first suggested months back but mulled over as had niggling feeling as to whether he'd actually want it. Was it for us? Or for him? He was an understated, modest chap.

When I was a bit miffed there was no big stones at Bramley left, his son said 'Honestly I know that Dad would have hated any of the bigger ones so it's absolutely perfect'

It reaffirmed my gut on it - I think a forum rename would have made him squirm.

I think there will be something more fitting we can do thats more Roydo. Not sure what, but perhaps an annual fundraiser. Perhaps something tied into @Groucho's mental health thread which Roydo used himself.

How about an annual forum membership in his name awarded for kindness and helpfulness to other forum members. Could have a shortlist create by the moderators, voted on by the members.

Though an annual fundraiser is a great idea.
 


1 year ago today since we lost @roydo

We're going to be working up a regular fundraising effort for The Samaritians in his memory.

Only found out about this the other week as it happened when I was off the forum for a good whilst.

Really gutting when I found out, can't say anything more than he was just a truly nice guy. That's just no age to go for him or his lady, hopefully his kids are doing ok, losing both parents so young must have been devastating for them.
