Has sadly passed away, R. I. P Captain

Thats really very sad news. What a man.

Honestly I expected him to have been the very first recipient of the jab. It would have been a well-deserved gesture.
So treating him for Pneumonia recently. Let’s hope that his local doctors have no neglected to check for the blooming obvious. You can of course show no symptoms and be positive, but showing symptoms and not showing positive is rare.
The jab takes a while to protect and not 100%. So its probably very bad timing.

Indeed RIP! a proper example to us all and very sad news

Yes, very sad news. RIP. As you say liquidator, it would have been a nice gesture for him to have had the first injection. I'm not sure of all the circumstances but my understanding is that he hadn't had the vaccine. I find that strange because surely his age would have put him in the first batch. I do realise that he had pneumonia and perhaps he had an injection for that. I know that when I had my Covid injection they asked me if I had an injection within the previous seven days. Perhaps that had something to do with it.

Yes he was unable to have vaccine as he already had Pneumonia ..... as i said very bad timing

I actually cried out “Oh no” when I heard this terrible news.

I’m so glad we had a lovely summer last year and he got to enjoy being made a “Sir”.

Someone mentioned here that his amity took him to Barbados at Xmas, I can’t help wondering if that was a disastrous decision.

A man of 100 travelling that far on a plane at a time like this doesn’t seem like a wise choice.

Even my 4 year old granddaughter will remember this great man, truly an inspiration.

RIP old fella......rest those legs for eternity in the satisfaction of a job well done and a life well lived.
