A good man left us yesterday after a brave fight. Thoughts with Ruth and the girls. RIP Magoo.

Shared same Flt through Crandits & 28 Cse at Fenton. Not seen him since we parted at reselection in '87 but good memories all the same. Condolences to Ruth & family. Too soon. RIP Tony

Magoo was one of my beefers back in '02 on LLTS....I do recall that more slobbery kisses were handed out on the Berlin landaway! RIP.
