Title: IN MEMORIAM : A PLACE TO CELEBRATE THE LIVES OF OUR DETECTING FRIENDS . Post by: PHIL YNYSBOETH on July 29, 2009, 06:05:46 PM Hi All
Geoff has kindly added this board after a suggestion by Forum member Rob from IOM The idea firstly is to announce the passing of a fellow Detectorists to celebrate their lives and achievements and secondly give a chance for friends to maybe relate humourous storys to forum member who might have known the detectorist well or not known him/her at all. I never thought id be starting this post off, we always think our good friends will be there forever ,sadly as ive found out on a few occasions they dont. Its with pride and sadness id like to start this board with the passing of Derek Jones ... Title: Re: IN MEMORIAM : A PLACE TO CELEBRATE THE LIVES OF OUR DETECTING FRIENDS .

My wife said to me after Dereks death "apart from your bike friends all your friends all old,youll be going to all your friends fundrals".(Im 44) I guess shes right Detectorists tend to be in there 50s Derek was my 1st Detecting related friend to have died and its been a great help to think of all the wacky things that made Derek who it was ;0) I cant wait for my other friends to pass away, ive got some great storys :P lol |
