Uncle Rustic Free from pain forever.

Only just picked this up so sad he did not have a longer retirement with Roz. He was a great guy who I exchanged a few PM with over the years. His advice and experience will be missed.

RIP Richard.

A quick update for you all.

I’ve spoken to Roz who seemed quite well under the circumstances. She would like to see people’s comments in memory of Richard so unless anyone has objections I’ve offered to copy and paste everyone’s posts after Rustic passed away and indeed any you wish to post after this.
Roz has given her permission for us to have a collection in memory of Rustic and has suggested the hospice that looked after him over the last few months. So I have emailed them for advice and will either post on this thread or start a new thread. So keep your eyes open.

we have lost one of our family , sometimes words cannot convey our sorrow , sincere condolences to roz , and I'm sure that as a family we will support her anyway we can ,rest in peace my friend :rose

I have no issue letting Roz see these comments.
I was searching for handbrake info and found a thread from 2011ish where Rustic had posted which made me laugh. His pearls of wisdom will keep cropping up for years to come hopefully.
I'm glad he managed to drag himself to meet us at the Rustic Road trip. He had a rough time of it, but still had a smile.
To be honest, if they hadn't arrived in their Mav, I wouldn't have known it was him.
Who's going to be our Health and Safety officer now:lol

RIP Uncle Rustic.

Unfortunately I never got to meet him, but his memory will live on strong within our Forum Family! :thumbs

I can be sure that we will raise a glass to him any time we all meet up. :beerchug:

My sincere condolences to Roz and the rest of Uncle's family! :rose

All The Best.

Uncle Rustic Funeral

Hi All, well I’ve just got home from Rustics funeral. The club was mentioned in his eulogy as we all played a big part in his life. The vicar spoke about the good that Richard has left behind, he raised awareness so members of the club got themselves checked out, how Richards story has saved a members life, also how Richard supported a member whilst they were at a low point. Also that we called him Uncle Rustic. Even his Maverick got a mention, the week after he passed away Roz started it up and took it for MOT which it promptly passed with no advisories. Roz said that he would’ve been so pleased looking down on it all. His Maverick hadn’t moved or been started Since the road trip. Though I suspect he started it on the quiet. I spoke to his two carers and apparently one of them helped him into the garage on one of his good days and before she could stop him he had the bonnet open checking the oil.

Uncles family have all asked me to pass on their sincere thanks for the support the club gave to Richard throughout his illness. The Rustic Road Trip meant a great deal to Richard and his family. We really made that man some good memories that day and the support we gave his family will never forget.

I emailed St Giles hospice a few weeks ago asking for advice about have a collection for them in Rustics name. I’ve not heard anything back from them so I’ll phone them one morning this week as my shift pattern will allow. Will let you know more when I hear from them.

My God I've only just seen this news now.

My thoughts are with all the family.

His memory will live on in them and of course this forum where many were his friend. RIP

[solarman216]

I have been drinking a glass to my dear "Uncle Rustic" since the day of his passing and will continue to do so with fond memories, much regretted we did not meet sooner, Rick

 

[zephyr]

I've lost my words - last time I was late to post my message, then now I was too late to say anything. But my heart goes to his family and also hope he's having a peaceful time after all battles he has gone through. I haven't met him nor even had a personal chat with him, but I see the strong bond to everyone here in this forum which is making my eyes with tears.... :bow R.I.P.

Thank you Jim for all your updates. Great to know what is going on.
