I spoke to TAD when i was first diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma some 7 years ago. As many have said, he was very positive. I offered to go and see him recently when he was going to have stem cell transplant, but he said they wouldn't allow visitors for fear of infection when TAD's body was so low in immunity. I am gutted to hear another MOBI and NHL sufferer cross the bar.

Farewll TAD - now you can fly without restriction......

Farewell Tad. It’s been a pleasure not only during our Mobi days at Nirimba, but having the opportunity to chat during the various reunions over many years. RIP
