Not funny (the subject line!) I hardly dared click on the conversation!

Definitely not funny I have a sense of humour about most things but that was definitely out of order.

I agree B'El, that subject line gave me a real shock...I'm glad I don't have heart problems!

Dear people,

My name is Harrie. I'm Peter (Pheloxi's) brother. I'm afraid that it is indeed not funny. Monday afternoon we were called that Peter had not responded to an appointment he had that morning. We went to his house and found no response. We had had the police force the frontdoor so we could get in. They found Peter on the floor in his kitchen. Dead. According to his doctor who came soon afterwards he probably had a heartattack or stroke. this probably happened on sunday morgning the 19th of April.

I'm truely sorry that we have to tell this to you this way, but it was the only way we could think of how to get in touch.

The funeral is on Friday 24 april 13:00 in Groningen, the Netherlands, where Peter lived.

Thank you for sharing the information. He will be missed.

So very sorry, Harrie. Pheloxi was loved and respected here.

Oh my god, this is terrible. I'm sorry about my post, but as the first posting was made under pheloxi's account, I thought he had just not thought about which shock this announcement would mean to all his friends here, and had posted one of his spurious links which he was known for doing.
I'm sorry, but I'm crying now.
I've never met him in person, and we didn't always agree, but he was a wonderful friend, full of laugh and mischief.

I will miss him.

My thoughts and sympathies are with you all.

I had the honour of meeting pheloxi and found him to be the perfect gentleman in all respects. He'll be missed.
My condolences to all his family and friends.

Deepest condolences from, I'm sure, all of us here in the h2g2 community

Dear Harrie,

I am sorry and very shocked to receive your sad news. Thank you for coming here to let Peter's friends know.

Please take comfort in that your brother was well loved and respected here in h2g2, and will be remembered most fondly.

Personally, I have lost a good friend and guru. I am thankful I have the chance to meet him when he attended my daughter's wedding almost 3 years ago.

I'm sorry, I can't think of anything else just now, I can't stop crying.

Please give my sincere condolences to your mother and the rest of the family.

Dearest Pheloxi,.. Goodnight and God Bless


love and affection from....

I don't know what to say.

As always, words fail me.

He was a friend. Someone who could bring a smile to anyone's face with wit, and no less a sense of perfect timing. Caring,

He will be missed, and I shall raise a in his honour tonight, and also at the London Meet, hopefully amongst other friends who knew him in both virtual and real life.

This is a close community and today there is both a friend and a family member missing.

Deeply missed and my condolences to family and friends.

Good bye dear friend.

I'll be lighting a candle for him on Friday. He will be missed by so many of us here.

That's so sad. Harrie, please accept my condolences. I didn't know him well, but he was a loved part of this community.

This is very sad news. Pheloxi you shall be missed by everyone here.

My condolences Harrie, for your loss.

Having met Peter - Pheloxi at VV's wedding, I shook hands with a gentle giant and a manly cuddle when we departed. He was a true gentleman and it was my honour and privilege to have met him and call him friend - with hopes of another meeting one day.
I will truly miss Peter and I thank his brother dearly for bringing this news, as sad as it is - my deepest respects to you sir and the rest of Peter's family.

Heaven has now been enhanced by the presence of Peter and may the angels watch over him with love and care

I shall NEVER forget him

Prof

Dear Harrie,

I am truly saddened that what I first thought was a bad joke turns out to be true. I understand that it was your only way of telling us.

I chatted to him sometimes, and called him 'Sunshine Fingers' because of his bright and cheerful Personal Space, and the fact he had some missing.

My condolences to you and your family. I just hope it was quick for Pheloxi, I think he had suffered enough over the years.
