I have a gut feeling that my old pal Tufted Duck has passed away.I had known him since my early days over @kitz Forums. He was in his mid 90s and still very computer active.His real name was Norman McDonald,live in Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland.He use to have a boat and before his wife passed away spent 5 years sailing around the world. He was also a very keen and good photographer, he once sent me some bits and pieces for my camera, all for nothing.I always looked on him as a dear friend and would have loved to have met him. He was a moderator over at Kitz but left after they let a total arsehole back in under another name.He stood to his principles and left, that is when he found the Squatters(hence the refugee bit) He was a 'good un',and maybe he is still batting on, but either way raise a glass with me to a dear member and friend..  |

He hasn't been on here since Dec 2015.I have also emailed him on numerous occasions without any reply.He lived in a big old stone detached house right at the side of the river, looked beautiful.If he is still alive he will be in his high 90s.He was also a WW2 veteran and every rememberance sunday would go down to his village war memorial proudly displaying his medals.

Well, if he has passed, it seems that he's had a long life well lived. Which I might add, is all that most of us would ever wish for.
So, if he has gone R.I.P pal.
