			I'm incredibly saddened by this news. I, and I suspect many others, will have been pleased to call him Friend. I will miss him more than I can say.  Goodbye my Friend, As Always, Norman. |

			Oh, no!   I hope he is surrounded by all the pets he loved so much. It was an honor to know him and to be counted as his friend. 😢 |

			I have no words to describe what sadness this brings. Fernando and I always had an unusual relationship, often we were at odds, but I cannot describe the respect I had for him. Our friendship was over two decades, and we learned together and from each other.  I will miss him terribly, our differences aside, we were friends above all. Goodbye my friend, I will never forget you, and will try, hopefully with the members here, to keep the forum as you always strove to keep. Onward, always, in your memory. |
