Our mate Dodgy
Posted by armornut on Sunday, February 12, 2023 6:13 PM

    Fine folks of our FSM community, it is with a heavy heart that I have been asked to pass sad news to you.

       Dodgies wife passed away Friday. Rob did not disclose the cause however she had been ill for awhile. He is dealing with formalities and going through the grief to be expected.

     Please keep our mate from Oz in your thoughts as he navigates this new reality.

    Thoughts and prayers with ya mate.

I am crushed at his loss. He was such a great man to tend to her when she needed him the most and yet he still worried about how we felt. They don't make many who take the time to care as much as he does. Dodgy, you have my families deepest simpathies and if you need anything, let me know.

My dear friends, thank you all so much for your prayers and kind words. My family and I are deeply touched. Jill was my beautiful wife and my best mate and it's hard to see at this time what the future holds, but I am going to try a return to the bench later in the week.

Thank you all.

Your mate, Rob Ferguson. (Dodgy)
