A long time PRE poster and most importantly a very good mate of mine gustiger12 passed late yesterday after a short battle with illness.

After an initial association through this forum, he was a huge help to me over in Thailand and we became great friends, sharing many a good time socially both there and after we returned back to Oz.

Always insightful, he rarely wasted a post on the boards and was as passionate about the RFC as they come.
Richmond have benefitted enormously from his generosity over the years.

Hope he gets to look down on a Tiger flag or two in the not too distant future.

Farewell Gussie mate. :emblem

Yes, sad news.

Read Gustiger's views over the years.

Always shed a keen or unique aspect.

Condolences to all.

Sad news about a respected poster. It's only right that his sig should go around one more time.

As previously mentioned we think of everyone here just being an anonymous name but to hear news like this reminds me that we are real people here. Sorry to hear this news.
