RIP dammit

After much worrying and searching the net for news, I got this email today from dammit's son.

Quote:
Hi leigh ,this isnt ged im afraid its his son scott . i got your joke other day and just thought it was some1 off a site and intended for me , im not sure how u know my dad but is no problem whatever it might be .
I hate to have to break this news to you in this way but obviously have no other way of contacting you ,-my dad actually died on christmas eve ,he was ill for quite a while(unbeknown to me and my mum although we had our suspicions ),and admitted to preston hospital for around 4 weeks with an abnormal blood test result ,which was later diagnosed as a liver problem and turned out to be iriverseable liver faliure which along with other problems killed him.
As i say i hate to break this news via email but thought it only right to let you know-im sorry
-Scott
I'm lost for words at the moment. I know I'll be going home from work tonight to raise a glass for my old bwty at such sad times.

He was a bit of a rogue, but I'm guessing that like me many of us will miss him very much!

Such sad news to hear, does anyone know how old he was?

This is terrible news. Ged was a real character with a wicked sense of humour and he never failed to make me laugh. I will miss him.

Please pass on my deepest sympathies to his family Beanie.

Very sad news.

Dammit was a real character on CTH for a long time, and he certainly gave me a good laugh.

I'll miss him on here

I really hate to hear this news - he will be missed. Knowing him, he still may even figure out how to pop in every once in a while :-)

may he rest in peace...

So sad, it is such a shock to discover that anyone one knows has died, and knowing someone in cyberspace is just the same. RIP you funny man.

I can just picture St Peter having a good laugh at one of Dammit's jokes.
