RIP Terry Casey

His life support machine was turned off last night.



The only person I knew that could repair a TV but refused to own one because of the crap they broadcast.


I can't remember reading him. But as he was your friend you have my sympathies. What happened to him? I saw a couple of funeral cars going down the road today, I have my suspicions that it could be Stella. She fell over in the road about a month ago, I helped her home. As for TV, mine is on for the dog. I may watch the News, but that is all.

I recall seeing the name on occasion.

RIP.

Other than seeing his name here occasionally I didn?t know him but if you?ve lost a friend Adam please accept my condolences.

This sentiment exactly.

I don't recall the gentleman Adam, but when a friend is moved to write the way you have then you earn my respect and you have my sympathies for your loss.

He wasn't the most prolific or long-standing poster but

No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.

And we haven't got many new posters joining ...

I suppose with the average age on here being people who knew uucp * it's surprising we haven't lost more

  • or in some cases probably wrote uucp!

Aww poor soul. I was only just reading the other thread re an accident he had.

We'll miss him thats for sure!.

That was quick. ;-(

I didn't know him but his posts seemed to suggest he was a good / nice guy and so is sure to be a loss to all who knew him in person and those who just knew him from here.

"any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee."

But it's still an especial buggeration when it's both someone you know and unexpected.

IIRC he also spent a fair bit of his time installing commercial cable TV systems (the ones that became Virgin Media's) so even more like a teetotal brewer.

+1.

One of the posters that we read, rather than skipped past.

Is there not a channel for dogs now? Yes I'm sorry too, though don't know what name he used here. I saw the post about going home, I'm assuming that was not to happen. Brian

Channel for dogs? I can't even use FreeView very well. As for Stella, I've not seen her since I picked her up from the road. I remember you from the Blueyonder group.

Yes I'm sorry too, though don't know what name he used here. I saw

A fairly frequent poster (about 90 posts in the last couple of months alone). He also drew some digrams used on the diy wiki.

That's very sad to hear. I didn't know him personally, but his posts here were those of a thoroughly nice person with a lot of expertise. A loss to the group and so sad for his family.

The one I remember has actually been printed off as a training aid for apprentice electricians at Doncaster College after I showed it to the tutors.

That was drawn several years before he moved "up North" and I met him.

I'm so sorry to hear that.
