CHC Kiwi passed away unexpectedly
Vivien has asked me to post a notice to all CHC Kiwi's FTer friends.
He passed away unexpectedly on Sunday at a party. He will be sadly missed. May he rest in peace.

Wow - that's unbelievable... I did not know him well, but it wasn't that long ago that many of us enjoyed dinner and activities with him at the ZQN DO.
At least his last moments were spent surrounded by friends. May he rest in peace and my sincerest condolences to his family and friends.

I was so very shocked and saddened to hear of CHC Kiwi's passing. My heartfelt condolences to Vivien and Eamon's family.

Wow, I'm shocked.
He, Vivien and I met at an HNL mini-Do back in 06 when NW had their $83 RTs from YOW!!
I enjoyed his company, conviviality and of course, expertise about FFPs.
Condolences to Vivien and CHC Kiwi will be missed.

Dreadfully sad news Kiwi Flyer.
Met Eamon and Vivien a few times at the DO in CHC last year, and thoroughly enjoyed their company.
I'll be in CHC at Easter and was planning to try and catch up with them for a drink...sadly, not to be.
If you are in contact again with Vivien please pass on my deepest sympathies to her and Eamon's family.

I'm very sorry to hear this sad news - a loss to many.
As many have mentioned, sincere condolences to CHC Kiwi's family and friends.
I never did get to meet CHC Kiwi but was keeping tabs on the Dos and was hoping to get the opportunity.
Please add me to the list of folk who pass on deepest sympathies to Vivien and to Eamon's family - and to contact me if we can be of any assistance.
