I just wanted to post here as I know my Dad dontbesilly was quite an active member - unfortunately he passed away on bank holiday Monday, after a stem cell transplant for his myelodysplasia. It did seem to work but other complications ended up meaning he was taken to ICU at the Royal Marsden. He was intubated and sedated for a long while before unfortunately further complications meant he passed around 3pm on 25 August. I (his daughter) and my mum were there until the end.

Dad was big into his cars and to be honest I always thought a car crash would be his ending, not this at the age of 67. He’s very much missed and was very loved.


If you want to do something to remember him - I’m telling everyone this who knew him - donate to Cancer Research UK.

RIP dontbesilly - you were a damn legend
