Bless you, Smokie.

I really don't think any of us knows quite what to say.

VERY.....Best wishes, again.

Yes, I am just speechless.
This is a very generous and kind action you did.
Must be really heart breaking to see your collection go.

I guess in certain circumstances, things don't have the same value as before.

I hope you have your family near you.

I'm humbled by your fortitude and pragmatism, sir. Best wishes.

I'm so sorry to hear this Andy and as Phil says above, I don't quite know what to say.  After we'd missed you at the shows earlier in the year I figured we'd be bumping in to you as usual on our next trip up your way, so it feels odd that that might not be the case now. 

I'm glad to hear that Derek was able to come and collect everything, the Edinburgh club are a great bunch of guys so I'm sure the collection will get some good use in its new home.

You've been a loyal customer of ours for a very long time and I want you to know how much we appreciate that.  It's easy at times to forget, but it's all of the folks like you that keep a roof over our heads and food on the table, and Pendraken wouldn't be where we are without you.

thanks for that Leon, love the pendraken ranges and the great staff and customer service I have had from you and Dave and the rest of the team. I also appreciate what you and Dave do and the way you accomodate our requests, glad to have been of service and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Very glad people will get the use of my collection rather than it ending up in the local rubbish tip thats a bonus

I'd like to think that when my time comes, I'll be half as accepting and organised about it as you are, Smokie.

I'm currently laid in up bed with the return of kidney stones, and under the influence of morphine, so I may not be too intelligible, but I hope your last days are comfortable at least, and you go with the knowledge that you've helped and are continuing helping out a lot of other people. You'll be sincerely missed, even though I only know you from this forum. Take care, old lad.

Crikey, that's harsh :(

Bit limp, but like Phil says, I don't quite know what to say from there.

That's a very generous gesture though - great legacy of gaming.

Not really sure what to say. Other than to echo what the others have said.

Your ability to think of others at this time is a great testament to your character. I hope things are as comfortable as they can be.

Like other people have said I don't really know what to say. I hope when my time comes I'm as brave and as organised as you.

My thoughts are with you
