Please accept my condolences.
Didn't see that coming and didn't always see eye to eye with him.
Sad loss of a veritable font of knowledge.
Go well.

 

[B&B Pig Man]

I'm sure all at TFF will join me in sending condolences to Stephen's family and friends at this sad time.

Rest In Peace.

The announcement came from the embassy here in Bucharest, Stephen was a friend who sadly I drifted away from, he had issues but RIP now !

 

[grumpy]

holy smoke thats a shock i always viewed stephen as a forum pal despite butting heads with him on numerous occasions.funny how you view folks on forums as being immortal and just see the forum persona when the reality is they are just like you.i quite fancy going to his wake as i bet it will be a cracker.

Quite a few of us here and on http://farmingforum.co.uk/forums/forum.php have known Elmsted, for many years, we have laughed with him, been angered by him, and been educated by him, he will be sorely missed by many.

You had better edit that "a" out of his monica.
Lord knows. He scolded me enough times when I put one in to wind him up!

I hear him ranting!

 

[Farmer Dod]

I remember the Ukraine thread about a month ago. He put across a very different point of view from most of the other participants and stuck rigidly to his guns throughout. Made for interesting reading- didn't necessarily agree with what he was saying but respected his clearly well-informed opinion.

Great shame and condolences to his family.

 

[Clive]

What terrible news, I benefited many times from his experience and wisdom, a very knowledgeable farmer

RIP @Elmsted his online persona will be immortalised here through his old posts

 

[Jon Feetham]

Always a good read, RIP Elmsted

 

[Knockie]

Very sad news indeed, always brought lots of good discussion to the forum. Had the pleasure of being in Stephens company for four days last year, as you can imagine the conversation got real interesting as the wine flowed
Stephen certainly lived a full and interesting life, and had the stories and knowledge to go with it.

Condolences to Stephen's family and those he leaves behind.
Mr & Mrs D

 

[SilliamWhale]

Ah very sad.

God he and I used to argue with each other but that was what it was all about! He had strong opinions but lots of experience which deserved respect.

RIP, sad news indeed.

 

[Grain Buyer]

What a shock! He was an enigma. I could never work him out and was always at a loss as to what he did. Was he a manager of a big unit? Was he a consultant? Did he work for a political farming body? He was a font of information and unswaying beliefs and he will be missed. RIP Elmsted.

 

[bobk]

Blimey, I liked him. sad news

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Now way, I just can't believe this

 

[czechmate]

Oh that is very sad news. I liked to think of Stephen as a pal and we had lots of pm conversations on various forums.
Rip

 

[Roger Perry]

Yes, all that's been said and more, a great fellow, my condolences to Stephens family.
