    Rest in peace - Garry aka Plug

    I'm sorry to say that forum member Plug has passed away.

    I don't think he was the most prolific or well known poster but I noticed he hadn't visited tz for a few months and discovered that sadly he succumbed to prostate cancer at the age of 57.

    We lived in the same town and did a couple of deals together; I found him to be a very kind and gentle man with a great sense of humour.

    Rest in peace, Garry.

    Sorry to hear this. I was diagnosed at 49 and thankfully it was caught early. In paying my respects to people who have passed away from this illness, I'll always bang the drum for people to get checked out. If you're at that age or particularly if you have a history in your family then present yourselves.

    Very sad. No age at all that.

    Kind of makes you wonder how many people suddenly stop posting and we are not aware they have passed.

    RIP, Garry, you will be in my prayers. I survived prostate cancer last year at 72...had mine successfully removed.

    How extremely sad.

    Of course I remember Garry (Plug) and 57 is shockingly young.

    Thanks for informing us Thom.

    I sometimes wonder if some of the posters who have stopped appearing over the years have passed away and nobody from here knows.

    RIP Garry.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Rest in peace - Garry aka Plug

    Whilst i never met him, he always came across as a decent bloke.

    It’s both sad and sobering considering he’s the same age as me.

    RIP Garry

    As some one who could've gone early beginning of the year I will say that's far too young to go!

    A familiar name to many; gone way too young.

    Rest in peace - Garry aka Plug

    It's nice to see a lot of people remember Garry fondly, and I'm just sorry to have been the bearer of bad news.

    There's a memorial website for him where you can add your thoughts or donate to his chosen cause if you wish:

    I always like to think that another hobby has forced its way to the front of the line and watch forums take a back seat. Every so often I'll recall a member who hasn't posted for a good while, too many to count over ten years to be honest. I'm sure the vast majority simply move on rather than "move on".
    I definitely remember Plug. Very sad loss at 57 years old.

    Very sad news, RiP Gary.

    My uncle was recently diagnosed, did a sponsored cycle ride in May to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK. A truly awful disease
