my beautiful uncle passed away last night aged 85, his name is Doug Newton.
Doug was a very active prospector and a total gentleman, I have never even heard him swear.
he was always out and about over the years chasing the yellow and did ok with his chosen hobby.
3 or 4 days out chasing then home for a few more days then out again :). ill health is the only thing that stopped him the last few years.

going to miss ya mate.
 
Sorry for your loss numpty. He sounds like a great man. May he continue chasing those nuggets in heaven.
 
So sorry for your loss. :(
When a loved one leaves it is hard but,
Always remember the good times as that is the legacy he would have wished for.
 
More gold up there than down here I'd say Numpty,....you were lucky to have Doug around for so long mate,...chin up, and celebrate his life. :)
 
Sorry to hear of your loss numpty..but you know, he lived and loved and laughed and in doing so he enriched you and your family's live's.. i guess in the broader meaning of things that's what we do...but i know it does'nt make his passing any easier for you, yet he lives on, in the hearts of you and your people. rip old Doug.
