Any idea of his health prior to contracting it ?

Dont know
He was 79 so the chances are there was something else going on...

 

[PhilTheFragger]

OH no, I used to see him in the Bank at Marlow, when I worked there

Always a nice bloke
sad day

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

What a guy...?

Sad to hear.

A parting joke in his memory

Oddie to Graham "Can you ride tandem"

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Shame, he was a nice guy and his missus was a decent golfer.

 

[SocketRocket]

What a shame, he was a great wit. The Goodies, that was some years back but a classic of its time.

Very sad. Loved the Goodies when I was a nipper. Seem to remember they were never on video for some reason. Not sure if that is still the case. Hopefully tv will show them again.

RIP

Sad to hear this.

Regarding ISIHAC, you know that section where they try and sing along to a song that gets faded out & back in?
Hearing Tim Brooke-Taylor try this on Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush will live in my memory for ever.

Loved the Goodies but that bloody funky Gibbon song was my nemesis.
My surname is Gibbons so feel free to call me “Funky” in future

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not a good day for famous deaths. Use to love the Goodies as a kid and saw Tim Brooke-Taylor several times at golf events especially the Harry Secombe Classic at Effingham

 

[Old Skier]

Used to bump into him and his Society a Hardlot Dunes GC most years during the noughties. Always cracking gags and telling stories.

 

[Hackers and Whackers]

OH no, I used to see him in the Bank at Marlow, when I worked there

Always a nice bloke
sad day

The Bank of England pub or a bank?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Barclays
Was at Marlow 1982-84 ?

 

[harpo_72]

Bit disappointed with the BBC .. don’t think they gave him as good as send off .. ?

 

[Hackers and Whackers]

Barclays
Was at Marlow 1982-84 ?

Just that I live in Marlow and used the Bank (pub) all through the 80's Didn't use Barclays though

Listening to comments on TV this morning he sounded like a smashing fella. What a shame.
