Goodbye to a real friend I never met (FF)

[TheScope]

I have just returned from afar , some of you will have known me before, its been so long since I came to this site, but I came to find out what happened to my opp FF, as I couldnt get into his Mobile Phone Forum. I have been deeply saddened by the news , which came as such a shock. Many contributors have already voiced just about everything about the helpful guy that gave so much of his time to help others, there is nothing so nobler , and nothing so admirable. I was the joker in the pack , always giving FF a "wind up" and a sarky comment ( my marine humour ), and he was always the first to respond with a witty "sniper shot" of his own.

I have seen the comments from his family and they have done him proud with their fortitude and stoical responses.
To any Newbies joining here , they will never know his spirit , his kindness and thoughtfulness , and his expert advice.
I never met or spoke to FF , he was always the guy that helped you and poked fun at. Sorry to post so late but felt I had to add my thoughts. I have lost close people in conflicts and accidents , but strangely his passing has affected me bigtime. Anyway I probably will not post on the forum again but I would like to leave a message in a song for "FF"
