A very good friend of some of the members, George Downey. I had an e mail from his son Will, I have been trying to contact George for a while. It turns out George has been in hospital since July of this year. Will wrote he was not too well, I have asked Will if I could visit George. So I am waiting for a reply.

Thanks for the update Dev, I have tried several times to contact him but never any reply now we know why, I wish him a speedy recovery and if you do get to see him give him my regards

I'm very sad to hear that.
George is a very long time member. If you you see him, Devo, please send my best regards.

I wish him all the best. I spoke to him a few times over the years and went to see him a couple of times at his and he has been to mine a couple of times. You brought him once Devo if I remember rightly. He bred me my first winner when I came back into the sport and got to know him through this forum.
Get well soon George.

Ahh, I didnt realise who it was you were talking about as I didn't know his sir name.
I too would like to wish him a speedy recovery.
Its also nice to put a face to the avatar. Although I don't know him personally, I am sure I have seen him around maybe at marking or some of the shows.
Get well soon George.

I will pass on any more information, on the recovery of George. His son Will, will keep me updated.

That's good mate

Hope he's well soon Devo all the very best to George

Just a update on George, Nothing much has changed health wise, social services are now involved and assessing his care needs with the plan to place him into a care home. Unfortunately he is considered to have complex care needs so there are limited options available, but his son Will, is pushing for something close by.

So sorry to see this, hope they find him somewhere Safe where hopefully he will make some form of recovery
