Hi Catherine

I just didn't know. This is so sad. I had spoken to John a few times on the phone, he was all for organizing a big trip to Ireland to play golf some time in the future. I know he was upset when he missed the chance to go. I also know he was upset at having to give up his membership at his local club.

Your dad was a golf nut, a real nice guy, he always had fantastic stories to tell. But he also loved hearing from golfers all over the world. He did share with us all that he was having problems and I think he got a lot of encouragement and respect from this forum. He certainly loved his family and his dogs. He was always chasing that elusive round of golf, banging that Sonartec 3 wood further than his driver into the wind.

He will be missed round here and will be remembered as one of its founding fathers. Thanks for coming here and letting us know. Please stay a while, it is a friendly bunch of folk (except for Jeff!).

God bless
Mark
