I'm so sorry to hear this, Fergus will be missed. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person but we share a love of dogs and I loved hearing about yours. Thank you so much for coming by to let us know, that's very thoughtful x
 
So sorry. I remember him fondly, and learned a great deal about D and about forums from him good example.
 
Saddened by the news of yours and the family's loss Janice...I knew Fergus through this forum and another...I would say he had a most irreverent sense of humour...and the gift of saying exactly what was right just at the right time...he made me laugh when I really needed to...gave support when necessary...I enjoyed his posts...his attention and his support...it must have been so difficult to tell us all here of his death...I'm sure that is much appreciated by all of our members here and elsewhere...heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

Were you at the Chester event? Caitlin & I dropped him off and went walking the dogs for the day. It seemed to really fire him up and he really enjoyed the day, even booked me in to take him to the next one...

Yes I was. Fergus said you were off walking the dogs. I have 2 greyhounds so we had a laugh about the 'personality quirks' of the two different breeds and how much we loved them anyway. You are more than welcome to join us at future meets, in fact it would be a pleasure to meet you.
 
I am very sad to hear this. I didn't have the pleasure of talking with Fergus, but did read his posts when I was on the forum.

Deepest condolences to you and your family.

Andrew
 
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Fergus in Chester in January, we were seated together and he regaled us with some very funny stories. He had terrific wit which he employed to perfect use in this and other forums. Although I didn't know him for long I will miss him. He was a Gentleman in the truest sense of the word. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.
 
Extending my most heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I liked to see his sig...now a two collie family. :(

yes...I enjoyed that too Ditto...always made me wonder how anyone coped with two collies...they seem to have 'batteries' that are rarely exhausted!!
 
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and send sincere condolences. Fergus will be missed on this site.
 
Sympathy and condolences to you and your family
 
My deep sympathy to you, Janice, and to your family. It's very hard when something like this happens suddenly. Thank you for letting us know. RIP, Fergus.
 
So sorry for your loss, Janice. He was such a lovely witty person & will be sadly missed.
 
I am so very sorry Janice please accept my sincerest condolences to you, your family and your dogs, who I am sure were an important much loved part of your family.

Strangely enough, it looks like he was on this forum on Tuesday morning, probably while he was making himself a brew. I'll miss him most because he won't be there to keep telling me to take my diabetes meds. It's nice to know that he had forum friends with whom to pass the hours he was at home (between walking the dogs). Thanks a lot, Janice

Janice - A thread has been started on the forum I mentioned. I'll not post a link to the other forum here, but will send you a private message with it in. You will be able to view the forum without logging in.
 
Very sad news. I remember first seeing his signature before I joined the forum and thinking that anyone with two collies must be a lovely man - how right I was! Love and best wishes to you and your family Janice x
