from the magazine -

"It is with deep regret I announce the passing of my father Gerry Giles on Thursday 3rd of October 2024.

He spent over 5 years fighting like a warrior to keep going, always facing every day and challange with strength and determination and his sense of humour never left him. Even now he will be up there looking down laughing his ******** off at me, after he told me to post an announcement on FaceBook to let all his friends know when he had “ kicked the bucket “ ( his choice of words, not mine lol ), sadly he never gave me the password or his phone pin number so i have spent last 36 hours looking for a way get in, and i have finally done that via an old email address on an old device that was still linked and i guessed the password to, Cheers dad you couldn’t of made it more difficult if you tried lol

My father was an old school kinda guy, that had to excell at everything he did, he was a G1 ham Radio Operator, An expert carp fisherman and a keen Metal detectorist. He excelled at everything he attempted in life.

He was loved by so many people and will be very much missed, I have forgiven you mate for giving me the CB Radio handle Skidmark was a was about 6 years old and he let me talk on his CB whilst we are at The Great Dorset Steam Fair along with his friends Dennis and Audrey and where we met the legendary Fred Dibnah for the first time. Memories that i cherish and will never ever forget.

Thank you, dad, for being more than a father, you were a bloody good mate to, always giving advice on how to deal with situations in life. I thank you all for being such great friends to my father. R.I.P Dad"

Not been on here in ages. Just seen this thread.. Knew OG only had a short time left, but even so its a bit of a shock to hear he has passed away..he was a massive contributor to this & the old Cemex forum where iirc he was less ' constrained' than on here !! RIP OG. Thank you for helping me among others to spend but save on all those bits via the linkypoos. Belated sympathies & condolences to the family
