Commander Ironfist - RIP

I am sad to have to report that Ironfist (real name John Tugwell) has passed away.
I received an email today from a friend of his brother who is helping to tie up his affairs and is getting in touch with contacts he had - we had often swapped emails during OXP testing.
He was always helpful and cheerful, and will be much missed.
His funeral is to be held on Monday 22nd April in London. I have details and if any of you would like these, please PM me.

Very sad indeed - we forget that RL(tm) is still there in the background.

Sorry to hear that.

Is Ironfist the first Ooliteer to pass away?

Should a memorial be added to the TOGY?

It's nice that someone in his circle of family and friends thought to tell you, Smivs. I take it you will pass on our wishes to his family?

If there will be a collection at the service for a charity or organisation then it might be nice if we could collectively send something.

I'm not sure if he is the first of us to 'Press Space'. There may have been others that we never heard about. It had crossed my mind that a TOGY memorial might be a nice touch.
I got the impression that the funeral will be a small affair. He only has a brother, no other family, but I have sent condolences on behalf of the community. As far as I know there is no collection planned.

That's awful news Smivs. My thoughts are with his brother.

This is awful news - he was too young to be joining the great gig in the sky

.

I like the idea of making a TOGY memorial though - seems highly fitting - but I think the penalties for blowing things up there should increase tenfold

sad news indeed. I agree with the idea of memorial however.

I notice that one of the Admin team has updated Ironfist's profile, giving him the rank of 'Commander'. A nice touch - thank you.

A nice touch indeed... that would've been the M&C.
