loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just came across the obit' of our good friend and fellow Nottstalgian, John Waudby, 'Ayeupmeducks.' https://www.echovita.com/us/obituaries/mo/alton/john-waudby-16572893 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. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,468 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Very sad news. R.I.P. Ayup.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,307 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,511 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,421 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 Bugger, it always brings home a sense of our own mortality when someone younger goes first.. RIP Ayup... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,298 Posted July 21, 2023 Report Share Posted July 21, 2023 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 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. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

colly0410 1,181 Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 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...
