This is a great loss, he was one of our best members, always so honest and helpful, he will be missed by us all, I had noticed he hadn't been around in a while, and I was hoping it was temporary but gone too soon, I remember I sent him a friend request, and he sent back a note saying we were already friends

Scoundrel-you surmise correctly-at least that is the reason he gave me privately-and to be honest his UN job was quite hectic, involved a LOT of travel, and some fairly extreme hours. None of it I suspect did his long term health prospects any good.

Very Sad indeed. A remarkable man with an interesting history and always good for a story or two. I missed him when he stopped posting but always hoped he'd return, sadly now just a hope. I'm trying to get some more info on his life which I'll be able to post, my best source is away at the moment so it may take a week or two.

Rest in Peace Sir.

I'm so sad to hear this.

He was good and kind member and will be missed.
May he rest in peace.

This is sad news

He was one of the first people i shared PM's with here on VEF, i think. Such a pleasant person.
I will miss him.

Everyone says this at the end of their days, but honestly, we won't see his like again. What a a great moniker!

[Translation for non Brits: Moniker – name. Rupert is British army slang for officers. Rupert is a very posh boy's moniker.]

Well its an even cleverer pun....his first name was Roger...so his VEF identity was a nod to the old 'RogerRamjet' cartoon character...and given his career choice 'rupertramjet' was a tip of the hat in both directions....

Another sad loss. RIP and thank you for your service.

So sorry to hear of his passing - always fair, always interesting and a man with real depth of character. Loved his sport and a pleasure to talk with.
RIP
