sad loss of a tff member

[neilo]

Any chance of TFF donating?

Whilst that would certainly be a nice gesture, I think any personal donations should surely be done discreetly?

I agree entirely. Discrestion is essential.

By TFF I meant the operating company, rather than the individual posters.

I've only just seen this very sad news,
Like most on here I've never met GTB in person however I remember he messaged me out of the blue with some advice regarding an issue I was having...very good advice I took and have since passed on several times.
We messaged a few times since and I can only say he was a thoroughly decent bloke, I had a lot of respect for him, my thoughts are with his family.
R.I.P Dai.

I expect so yes, it’s a worthy cause

So gutted to read this I liked him a lot a well grounded and helpful chap. Good with Easycare sheep forums and just a good attitude to others. I know he hadnt been on here for a few months. Was helpful with sending me messages on a few queries too.

So sad.

I can not believe I am only just seeing this news now.

I could echo so many words already said.

I never met him. But I feel like I've lost someone close. Thoughts go to the family.

How about gofundme or something similar? I don't have the skills.

Edit: Clive? Something like this?

 

[Pasty]

Are there a few of us who could put this together? Dai told me off enough times about sheep and grass. Would be good.

We (TFF) now have names of 240-odd members whose forum names we will add to the Letter of Condolence from TFF which we will send on Friday. This list includes everyone who has either posted or 'liked' a condolence message on the thread, plus those who have 'liked' Clive's wording of the letter on page 8.
If you would like to add your name to this list, just 'like' that post, or this one, and all the names from either or both will be added to the list.

The family have already said where they would like donations to go so anyone who wants to give can do so via that route

 

[Jonny B88]

Always offered a lot on any discussion i read or was involved in. A decent fella. Thoughts and Prayers to the family.

The family's choice for donations..
http://www.thedpjfoundation.com/
Anyone can donate by credit card through that site.

Never forget overhearing some farmers talking about me . "Never be the man his father was"
We all try our best that's all you can do

I dont know you or your dad but I'd say you've done quite well for yourself from what I read on here and you seem to be a very fair, honest and sensible man too. I wouldn't pay any attention to any of those pricks

 

[Woolgatherer]

I've just seen this, a shock to read of the loss of GTB. I always read his posts, they were always well thought out and you could just tell he was a nice person. He'll be missed.

Agreed. People who pass judgements like that are ignorant to the fact that not everyone's the same as such and such... And why should we be? We are our own people, unique that's a beautiful thing

Thank you.

 

[Dr. Alkathene]

Only just seen this after being away, am shocked he came across as a grand fella and always helpful.

 

[Clive]

Nothing to see here other than some VERY in appropriate posts that have been removed out of common decency

Unbelievable behaviour !

Sorry to those caught up in the cross fire but I’m sure you understand why I had to moderate

 

[Nithsdale]

Thank you for putting right, @Clive

Hard to belive how low some will sink but an insight into what we have had to deal with at times on TFF that a few witnessed there

Now let’s keep this thread on topic and respectful please
