			Oh, no!   I hope he is surrounded by all the pets he loved so much. It was an honor to know him and to be counted as his friend. 😢 |

			I have no words to describe what sadness this brings. Fernando and I always had an unusual relationship, often we were at odds, but I cannot describe the respect I had for him. Our friendship was over two decades, and we learned together and from each other.  I will miss him terribly, our differences aside, we were friends above all. Goodbye my friend, I will never forget you, and will try, hopefully with the members here, to keep the forum as you always strove to keep. Onward, always, in your memory. |

			Very sad news and a great loss to this forum and to me. Very often I had a useful and helpful contact to Fernando, so I shall miss him deeply.

			Very sad news indeed. He was a regular contributor in this forum and had great knowledge especially in Iberian arms and armour. He shared his knowledge and material selflessly and will be greatly missed. So long my friend   . REQUIESCAT IN PACE. |
