Guest frenchie Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 Just spoken with Pez who is currently at Royal Oldham Hospital Palliative care(G2) with Salmon who has taken a turn for the worse. Those of us that know Salmon know he has not been well for quite a while, and has been in and out of hospital for the last few years. We can only hope and pray that he will make it through this time, but from my conversation with people there it doesn't look very likely. It is open visiting, and he is still conscious but unable to speak very much for any of us wishing to go and see him. He has been a close friend of ours for many years. It saddens me to have to write this. I would love to go and see him and let him make me laugh - most know him as Mr Grumpy - but we had some good old laughs down the line. Just to be able to say you will be okay Hopefully this will be updated as and when any of us have any news. Penny

billb Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 RIP Salmon you battled bravely Bill & Cathryn Well done Pez!
Guest frenchie Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Its with very great sadness to let you all know that Salmon has passed away this morning. Pez was with him, he has been Salmons guardian angel in these last few days. Also Joyann who has been by his side for most of the weekend along with Karen. Thank you to all his friends who have been up at the hospital to say good bye over the weekend I believe he was quite overwhelmed. His funeral arrangements will be posted when that side of things has been sorted. Penny
Pete S Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 So sorry to hear this. Condolences to all family friends and relations. RIP mate.
Peter99 Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I am so sad to hear that. Bless you Dave. I send my best wishes to his family. Peter
