Charlie Wesencraft has phoned me with more details on the sad news of Mike Fisher's sudden death.Mike died at the age of 65(not 67 as first reported) as a result of a massive heart attack.He worked for the Civil Service at Longbenton,and retired when he was 60.The funeral arrangements have been made at the Tynemouth Crem. at 9.45am on Wednesday 29th June,and afterwards at the Spreadeagle(pub ?) for an informal gathering . I hope we can all attend as a group to show support to his family.

I'm sorry to hear of the death of your friend. Our generation of wargamers has reached that stage when the old toast "Absent friends" is all too real.
ReplyDeleteHi Ross,too true! I blame the fast pace of life nowadays-everything is rush,rush,rush.
