So sorry to read this.  I never met John personally.  He lived a couple of states over from me, but we had similar backgrounds as electricians he in the mining field, me in construction,  both from Nottingham.

John was a good moderator on NS in his day.  R.I. P. John.

That's sad news. I'd noticed Ayup hadn't logged in here since the end of last year, and he also seemed to have vanished from everywhere else on the internet.

 

John was one of the very earliest members of Nottstalgia back in 2004, and was an Admin for most of that time.

Our condolences to Ayupmeducks family and friends R.I.P. I never met him but enjoyed reading his posts on nottstalgia thankyou.

R.I.P. Ayup..

Very sad. We'll miss him on the site. He's the second member offline recently (Mercurydancer). I think probably Jonab has also toddled off into the sunset as he hasn't visited for a long time and his health when last heard from was pretty serious.

Sorry to read this, it’s always sad to find that one of our lot has passed away.  His posts were generally too electrically technical for me to understand but his memories of being a pit electrician were no doubt interesting to many Nottstalgians.  Condolences to his family, if they ever get on Nottstalgia.

Bugger, it always brings home a sense of our own mortality when someone younger goes first.. 

 

 

RIP Ayup...

Very sad to hear this. I read with interest Ayup's posts on his mining experiences.

Deepest condolences to his family. R.I.P John.

Oh no! How sad, John was a nice man, condolences to his family. You do always wonder when a member stops posting, if they have just got bored with us, or passed away. Thanks Loppy for taking the time to track John down.

So sorry to read this, RIP John... We became facebook friends & would often yabber about owt, & he'd often groan at my stupid jokes I'd put on. He has (well had now) a mining site & I'd often put posts & comments on it... 

[Jill Sparrow 10,307]

I think he was around 81 years old.

[katyjay 5,091]

He was 75 according to his obit.
