One of the Hairy Bikers, along with Si King, a gentle giant of the culinary world, motorcyclist, TV presenter, radio presenter, rock music fan, genuinely wonderful bloke.
Your food/recipes are delicious, your music taste impeccable! Your enthusiasm and laughter infectious, your storytelling captivating. Your sheer delight in travelling and cooking was a joy to watch, and your strength and resilience when battling with your illness, an inspiration to us all.
My thoughts go to your family, and to Si King, who must be missing his best mate terribly. ❤
I lost my father almost two years ago and the community has graciously kept him alive in the overhead.
Now my mother is not responsive and is expected to go anytime. I am torn on whether I want her to let go now, or wait until I get there tomorrow. She is in hospice and as comfortable as they can make her.

I miss my dad everyday.
April 16th, 2020
We had more time, you left me and mom alone too soon to clean up your mess. I find myself wishing you were here a lot lately, I love you dad. I wish I could’ve helped you sooner.
GNU Hampus Ahlbom - An old friend lost to pancreatic cancer far too early. We didn't see each other much the last couple of years but spent our youths playing roleplaying games together every Friday.
GNU Lesley “Kitt” June Mitton. Passed up the line on her own terms, gave me my love of books and a meal with my late sister and sir Pterry. Her last act was to cackle dangerously from the everafter as we scattered more of her ashes on ourselves than into the windy ocean. I feel you with me every day, I’ll see you when it’s my turn. Thanks for all of it mum xx
GNU Nola Dalecke. Your perseverance and generosity were a rock I took for granted for too long. I wish I had given to you as much as you had given to me. May you find peace.
GNU Kevin Davenport-Rackham
They were one of the reasons I wanted to read Terry’s work, and now that I have I can see why they loved it so much. I know it must have brought them some solace in life before they left.
GNU Todd Adams. My IRL Sam Vimes. You were a good man. You didn’t always do the right thing. But you always did what needed to be done. You were a warrior. My champion. You fought hard. And you choose when you went down. I know you did, you stubborn bastard. I will love you forever, Toddy. Please give mom the biggest hug. 💔
GNU Rizly, the most sweet-natured cat I ever met. Friend to all creatures smaller than him. And bigger than him, but maybe a bit scared of them. I miss you so much, my handsome boy.
GNU Jim Wright. It's been a year today, dad, and I miss you terribly. I know that being an original roundworld clacks operator, you are somewhere out here keeping the packets flowing.
Thank you. You don't know how much that means to me. I think they (my deceased children) are mostly forgotten in my family. I'm caring for an elderly mother right now so the focus is on her. Again, thank you for acknowledging my children's lives. I still miss them.
GNU beautiful baby Maisie Willett. Born much to early to live, but fought so hard to stay. For such a tiny little girl, she made her mark on so many others lives. Forever and ever loved and missed.
GNU Nana and grandad. My biggest supporters. We were estranged because of family issues and when I was finally old enough to find you you had both passed. Forever on the clacks
GNU Ragamuffin, the marvelous dog of many names. A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever afraid of birds and water, a sneaky creature who never met a squeaky toy that was allowed to live, and the best traveling companion I've ever known.
Thirteen years of my life and all of yours could never be enough. Ten years gone, and I'm still broken. You were the bravest creature ever born.
GNU Janet "Jo" and Harold "Dave" Davidson (aka, Mom and Dad)
Mom discovered Discworld when her book club here in the U.S. first offered *The Colour of Magic* and *The Light Fantastic* (back in the 80s, if I remember right). She was instantly hooked, and then she shared with me and I became hooked as well. I still have every book that she bought, as well as the ones that came out after she passed away. If there is an afterlife, I hope she manages to meet up with Sir Terry!
GNU Joyce aka "Maba"
Fierce, headstrong, well-read. Born during the Depression. Grew up (literally) dirt poor. Married in her parents' living room. Worked herself to the bone to put her husband through medical school. She was the most amazing grandmother. She taught me, among other things, that education comes in two forms: book learning and life learning - and BOTH are important.
Dementia took her from me over 12 years ago. I still miss her every day.
GNU Grandpa Dennis. Whirligig maker, food lover, grouch and curmudgeon whose secret favorite granddaughter misses you more than words could possibly contain.
GNU Grandma Margaret. I hope you can see me from wherever you are, and I hope I've done your name proud. I wish you could have met my husband, you would have liked him as much as Grandpa did.
So fill to me the parting glass, goodnight and joy be with ye all...
