Much missed member

I apologise to all forum members for letting you know like this (and as forum virgin it's a bit wierd) but this is Fergus's wife here. Fergus suffered a pulmonary embolism on Tuesday lunch-time and has sadly passed away. Yes, this was very sudden. As most of you will know, Fergus had a stroke in 2008, the same day that he got diabetes, kidney failure, liver problems and hard-to-control high blood pressure. But he managed to wean himself off the insulin by tightly controlling his diet (aka. being a pain in the a?~e. But he's a pain that Caitlin and I will miss every day of our lives.
The dogs are torn between moping around, sitting in his chair and insisting of playing with their toys. I'm sure they understand something has happened, but on Tuesday the pup didn't understand why Fergus wasn't throwing her ball for her.
I will keep monitoring this forum for a few days if anyone wants to post a response to this. I know that Fergus spent most of time on here and the motorhome forums, so there a probably quite a few of you who saw a different side to him than I knew.
Anyway, thank you all for keeping him busy for the last 9 years.
Yours truly, Janice Crawford
