I have bad news I just got on facebook and found out our old friend Pete has died. I last heard from him on facebook Saturday.He had been planning to get up Sunday and prepare a nice beef stew for his family. He recently had been treated for a blood clot in his leg which he had a history of.He was a good friend though I never met him in person. Im sure he will be missed by a lot of people.Thats all I know right now. flowers

Sad to hear that. He'll be missed in the infamous 'Pete's Bar' wine

How sad! I remember Pete's Bar.

Galen Tue 07-Apr-15 14:47:11

I'm very sorry. He was fun!

Lona Tue 07-Apr-15 14:50:34

Oh that's a shock Envious, he was a 'friend' of mine too for a while. How sad, his grandsons will miss him.

Such a shame. He had a great sense of humour.

That is so sad.

Oh no, that's awful! Happy memories of Pete's Bar...
RIP Pete wine

Another one here so sad at that news. Pete and I exchanged a few PM's about football and my DG, he was a firm Man Utd fan. A wine to you Pete

That's a shame. Never went in Pete's bar, but exchanged PMs. Another good man gone.

Envious

I am in shock.

I have been in contact with Pete , more so since he stopped posting on GN.

Pete was so funny, a wonderful sense of humour and I am actually quite tearful at the moment.

I am thinking of his PM's where we shared stories of our Grandchildren and I feel so upset thinking of them at the moment. He was a support when my father died and my daughters divorce, albeit from a virtual pal.

I am so upset, are you absolutely positive this news is correct? I just can't believe it!

Envious Tue 07-Apr-15 19:25:57

Yes...his daughter posted it on his facebook page. Im shocked too.Though I know blood clots can be very dangerous,he was taking his medication and had gone for a scan. The worse was not something anyone would of expected.

Envious Tue 07-Apr-15 19:29:53

Btw nothing was said of his cause of death I just know of his recent health concerns.

Pittcity Tue 07-Apr-15 20:40:27

I didn't know Pete, but it's always a shock when we lose a fellow gransnetter.

Parcs Tue 07-Apr-15 21:20:00

May he rest in Peace

NanKate Tue 07-Apr-15 21:24:47

I didn't know Pete but he sounds a nice fellow.

I wonder what has happened to PapaOscar who posted regularly up until a few months ago. Has anyone seen posts from him recently?

bikergran Tue 07-Apr-15 22:19:31

Oh I rem Pete..in the bar, although I never posted much in there, oh dear that is sad.

merlotgran Tue 07-Apr-15 22:23:01

PapaOscar came back for a short while and then disappeared again.

MiniMouse Tue 07-Apr-15 23:25:30

I've been wondering about PapaO as well. Perhaps he's lurking and not posting. Hope he's all right.

NanKate Wed 08-Apr-15 06:53:46

Yes Mini I hope PapaO is ok too. It's good that we care about our virtual friends.

It was a shock and I believe you will be interested to read this thread for yourself, sorry if I have made a mistake. sad

loopylou Sun 24-May-15 17:21:35

PapaO , on a thread some months ago, said he wouldn't be around for a while, I do hope he's ok?
