I am really sorry to let you all know that I have been contacted by Declan's brother, who has told me that he has sadly passed away. Chipsteak has been a member of the forum for many years, making hundreds of posts, and was active just a couple of weeks ago.

May the Force be with you Declan.

Thank you for letting us know, Edd. This must be terrible news for his friends and family, and is also a very sad loss for this forum.

Rest in peace.

That's really sad, he was only 46, far too young. I didn't know Declan in person but chatted with him here and on FB regularly and always found him a great chap with a good sense of humour, we had many collecting interests in common and I enjoyed reading his posts. May the Force be with you mate, I'll miss you.
