Some of the esteemed members of this forum may have known Richard Tyson, my former partner in Behind the Lines and who also traded for many years on the UK show circuit as Richard Tyson Books.
Richard sadly lost his fight against cancer at the end of August. He was diagnosed about a year previously and originally given 6 months to live.
Richard was a very good friend and I will miss him.
Condolences my friend.
Sorry to hear it.
My condolences
Very sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear that.
Sadly, not a name I recognise but ... "send not for whom the bell tolls."
I hope you cherish many happy memories.
RIP My condolences
I think it's never send to know for whom the bell tolls, innit?
My condolences.

Though I never knew Richard personally, yet I too am diminished by his passing.
For Whom the Bell Tollsby
John Donne No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
My condolences to all concerned :(.
My condolences!

Someone has taken a paragraph of one of the best pieces of religious prose ever written and disguised it as a free verse poem, I think. See http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/meditation17.php

I first met Richard at Aylesbury war games club when I moved to Tring. He helped me settle in the club and we were soon firm friends. I often helped him at shows running his bookstall and have many fine volumes on my shelf are thanks to his generosity.
He was board gaming every Wednesday afternoon right up to the end. Despite knowing he did not have long, each afternoon was full of banter and laughter. that's how I will remember him.
