Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / January 2008To absent friends - Alan Hardy RIP
I was reading through old emails today and whilst it's not exactly an anniversary, i thought with it being the season of good will that now would be a good time to mention him and anyone else that you knew through here and have since passed away - hopefully to a better place. I'm sure there's more than a few of us who remember him and will join me in remembering a man who for many, me included was nothing short of an inspiration. A tad mad .... but a really decent bloke at heart and will always be missed. It's important that we remember the people who helped us when we were new to all of this and for me, Alan was one of those very special people.

Many other names come to mind. I give them all my respects. Henry Mydlarz There are a couple more whose names escape me. One was a young type 1 and the other was a type 2 I believe who had cancer. Ratty will know. I believe there is a better place. >I was reading through old emails today and whilst it's not exactly an >anniversary, i thought with it being the season of good will that now would [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Fester > There are a couple more whose names escape me.

I didn't realise this was crossposted and only mentioned those I recall from ASDUK. There is also Buck, Mik and Charles that I remember off the top of my head. >> There are a couple more whose names escape me.

There is Jan, but Chung will find it and spam the f.ck out of it before we get there.

Hopefully he's found that better place. Stef Lach was the T1 if I recall, who went on to bigger and brighter things with his music once he got the T1 diagnosis squareds away and settled into his routine. Glass raised also to all absent friends met here over the years, and our old regulars who still lurk like Emma. Ratty Patrick, how good it is to see you! I hope you're doing well. Yes, we do remember him. I miss him and all of the people that are no longer with us in the group. I wish you would post more often on this group. I always enjoyed your sense of humor. :-) Cheri Fester wrote in message ... >I was reading through old emails today and whilst it's not exactly an >anniversary, i thought with it being the season of good will that now would >be a good time to mention him and anyone else that you knew through here and >have since passed away - hopefully to a better place. > Patrick, how good it is to see you!

Things are fine with me thank you. Enjoy your time off, and a very festive season to you!

However on the plus side it makes the break even more welcome - off home on christmas day to spend it with the folks - will be nice to eat some decent home cooking :)Got a very healthy bonus from work which was also very much appreciated - it's nice when your boss tells you that you're doing a good job AND rewards you for it too. > I was reading through old emails today and whilst it's not exactly an > anniversary, i thought with it being the season of good will that now would [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > when we were new to all of this and for me, Alan was one of those very > special people. He in fact predates this newsgroup, but Carl Lydick and his quest for truth - as opposed to spamming, cures that don't, and folks who refuse to learn - inspires me to this day. I knew him both in misc.healt.diabetes and real life.

Alan H was special indeed...and he is missed.

Seconded Pat. SignatureBeav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 Hey Beav, I dont read these groups very often. When did Alan Hardy pass and do you know anything else about it. I met him at the IDDT conference in Birmingham in 2003. Had lunch with him and Jude from CP. Nice bloke, explained a few key points to me about unders and wickets. Big cricket fan. Anything you post here or in (p) message would be appreciated. all the best, BNF >>I was reading through old emails today and whilst it's not exactly an >>anniversary, i thought with it being the season of good will that now would [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Seconded Pat. > When did Alan Hardy pass and do you know anything else about it.
