Morris Minor Owners Club

All users of this messageboard should see the thread tucked away in the 'Do you know' area.

Sadly, we have lost our most prolific (by far) contributor.

I, for one, will miss his contributions greatly.

Moderators: I know that in a sense this is a duplication, but I think it is only reasonable that we give Roy the prominence on this messageboard that he has earned.

Very sad.

Never miss a chance to get fun out of your car and from life.

We never know what will happen tomorrow.

sorry to here roy has gone, i never met him but i used to always read his messages on here, he had a wealth of knowedge and will be missed by many, Graham

No argument from me. I exchanged many a message with him on all sorts of things, and am pleased to have counted him as a friend, even if we never met.

A real shame. Will miss reading his advice with peoples problems. God bless him.

Very sad news.

The club will be contacting Roy's family to both pass on condolences and to recognise Roy's incredible and prolific contribution to the messageboard over many years.

Sad news, although I knew he was not well. We had a lot of lively discussions and chats via pm over the years about some interesting topics, including "ghastly" headlight peaks and cooking his Quorn sausages on a shovel. His wealth of Minor knowledge and expertise will be missed here. My condolences to his family. [frame][/frame]

Will be a mention at the 2017 rally I would hope.

A trophy named after him would be nice gesture.

not in the shape of a headlight peak i hope!

No, I'd thought perhaps a coil mounted on a Wolseley drum.

Pete

Yes, and a steering wheel nut, complete with chisel marks !

the idea of the trophy named after roy is great...
lets hope someone with the powers to be will take this onboard.

Absolutely a coil trophy for the best everyday car as he wasn't a fan of the concours. Maybe an MMOC t-shirt with 'It's never the coil' slogan and his name

Sad news indeed! I for one will miss his contributions to this forum.

I'd like to extend my condolences please.
I purchased a few items from him and found
him to be friendly and informative.
I enjoyed reading his contributions to the site and community.

Really sad news, again I never knew him personally, but in the nearly 3 years I have been a member he has made a fair few contributions to my Minor. One of the great real engineers.

Sincere condolences to his family, RIP Roy.

This is very sad news.

I always enjoyed his posts and good humour. A sad loss from this community.
I always think of him when I see a Minor with Peaks, I shall even more so from now on.

My thoughts are with Roy's family at this difficult time.
