So folks, the cancer has finally caught up with  me, I have been put on end of life care by the local hospice.

Its been great fun interacting with you all and thanks for tolerating my non tamiya scratch builds on the tamiyaclub forum.

I have passed my forum account to my son (who at the moment is 11). I hope that if he questions, particularly about parts ID, that you will collectively help him out.

Thanks.

The last 10 years have been a lot of fun.

Goodbye my friends................

[Sgt.Speirs 1314]

This are sad news…

God's blessings on your final journey. And all the best and strength to your family…

[Hoser 14]

I’m sorry to read this, you and your family are in excellent hands with hospice care and as said above, strength to your family sir.

[JimBear 798]

I've only been here for a short while, but what you have written (and built) has had a great impact on me. Thank you for everything, sir. *bows in respect*

[toyolien 5490]

Really sad news. Never had the pleasure to meet you, but have enjoyed your builds. Good luck on your next journey. Your son will be more than well looked after on here.

[markbt73 5610]

Wow. I don't even know what to say. Thank you for sharing your passion for the hobby with us; your builds have always been fascinating and inspiring. And yes of course, "KidInventor" can come to us with questions at any time. Godspeed, and all the best to your family.

[Grotty Otty 869]

Blimey, that's a gut punch. Thanks for sharing your great builds (especially the epic War Rig) and of course I'm sure all here will help your son with anything he asks. Best wishes to you and your family *Doffs cap

[Grastens 2802]

Goodbye, MadInventor - you and your builds will be so dearly missed by us here at TamiyaClub. We wish for strength for your family; one day, perhaps your son will see what you and your work mean to us on this forum. You will always be with us here.

Take care on your final journey.

[Saito2 7242]

I'm very sorry to hear this. You will be greatly missed. Your awesome scratch builds have been an inspiration here on Tamiyaclub. I'm at a loss for words. I wish you and your family peace and thank you for being part of our lives here. 

[Badcrumble 4401]

So sorry to learn this.

Thank you for your insight and your builds, so much fun watching the evolution of the War Rig and more recently, the tractor. 

I'll be thinking of you and yours when we build and run the TXT-2 with your hand-crafted gearbox shaft.

[Gebbly 760]

Sad news, thanks for all your great contributions to our RC community @MadInventor. Your builds will continue to be an inspiration to us all.

[Willy iine 18823]

@MadInventor Thanks for the very insightful posts.  

Tell your son to join in on the forum when he feels lonely.  We'll take good care of him.  

Godspeed, man.  Hope to see you again on the forums in the next life.  

[Nick G 54]

Sorry for your news.  Have enjoyed your epic builds , truly amazing skills Sir. 

[Busdriver 6270]

You will be greatly missed. Your builds have been an inspiration for the 4/5 years I’ve been on the forum . Your approach to the rc world will be sadly missed. If your family need any help I’m sure we will be there to help them.

[EvilSpike 296]

Sorry to hear it, hope the end is peaceful and surrounded by those who love you.

[GToddC5 1580]

Prayers for you and your loved ones, Godspeed.

[Kowalski86 3983]

I'm sorry to see you go, I always find scratch builds to be the most impressive, it takes a lot of work and testing to fabricate something yourself.

Godspeed to the next life, your family will be in our prayers.

[ChrisRx718 4601]

Never has a forum username been more appropriate.

Your truly mad inventions and metal fabrications will always be fondly remembered here.

I am not religious but hope that you find peace and comfort surrounded by your loved ones. Rest easy buddy.

[ThunderDragonCy 8115]

@MadInventor I have loved reading your builds. Go gently friend. 

[Xeostar 832]

Really sorry to hear your news @MadInventor 

I hope we cross paths again some day on the other side. Don't tell anybody but I've heard even all Tamiya's come with bearings over there too!

[Grumpy pants 5178]

Really taken back by this news - 

We are all going  to miss your humour and skills without a doubt. 

I hope that your journey is kind and peaceful for you and your loved ones. 

 

[yogi-bear 2413]

Your builds were an inspiration, you will be missed and not forgotten.

[Kalamity 32]

Im very sorry for the news, your builds have been a great source of inspiration and entertainment. Godspeed!!

 

[Sogogi 3333]

Very sorry to hear. Wish you the best and for your family too.

[Tamiyastef 2497]

Sorry to hear you have to leave. Strenght to you and your loved ones. Scratch builds scare the badword out of me (and many others here on the forum I presume) but you have shown some serious skills and bravery, not to impress but to encourage, thank you for that.
