That is so upsetting, I felt I had got to know George as he emailed me regularly with little jokes, as well as his postings on here.  I hope he is now in a lovely place where he has no pain or breathing problems.
May I also extend my condolences to Kath and their sons.

Bad news indeed ,he will be missed by a lot of people. I knew him from his River Cottage days before here, I must have talked to him for six months before he found out I was  female. Nice to have known you George :farmer: Our thoughts are with Kath and family.

That is such sad news indeed. Thanks to his son for letting the news be heard. We develop what we feel are such friendships on a forum like this, and yet in the family circle they may not even know we exist, to tell us the news. I too hope he is now in a better place, and at least there he won't have to have his oxygen tank with him at all times.

Rosemary and Dan may have an address, I'll email her and ask.  Or perhaps Jackie and Mick might be able to help.

Oh, I am so sad to hear this news.  Although he was very ill himself, he still came on this forum with his lovely posts, and he never failed to send Bamford a daily post of what was happening, while he was in hospital, which was lovely!!

Wizard, will be really missed by everyone who "knew" him on here - I really loved his posts.  Always smiled at him living in Grimsby and not liking fish!!

Such sad news - at least George is now pain free. I'll miss him so much - he was such a character.

George and I (and others) discussed producing a little booklet of 'his' recipes - all the old fashioned stuff and selling it for charity - I'm sure he would want us to do this.
If you could all find your favourites and post them on a new thread, i'll collate them and produce a booklet - won't be too fancy, just simple & straightforward - just like George  :)

Oh I can't believe it  :( RIP George. You were a most genuine and helpful gent. My horses would still be going thirsty if it weren't for your invaluable knowledge! I hope you are busy picking brambles up there and tutting at my bad jam making skills. xxx :bouquet:
