janey 23 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 Sadly we have to announce that Tony Goose passed away suddenly at home during the weekend 9 - 10 Mar 13 aged just 46. Tony had been an active and valued member here on LOC since December 2001 and a moderator since September 2009 and though he was living and coping well with Multiple Sclerosis, he was seemingly unaware that he had developed heart and circulation problems from which he was to succumb. Tony's brother Steve has informed us that Tony's funeral is to be held at the Seven Hills Crematorium between Ipswich and Felixstowe on Monday 25 March at 3.45 pm and anyone wishing to attend is more than welcome We will be sending a wreath on behalf of LOC and will be speaking to Steve Goose regarding a charity collection in Tony's memory. I'm sure a lot of members have fond memories of Tony from over the years (I know I have) so please feel free to share them and remember him here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normski2 288 Report post Posted March 21, 2013 That's very sad to hear. He will be sorely missed many here at LOC. He had a seemingly vast amount of knowledge that he was happy to share with all in such a friendly manner. May I offer my condolences to his family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegooseman 4 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 Very many thanks for all your kind messages of condolence and special thanks to janey for organising flowers on behalf of LOC; they were on-show at the crematorium then the following day we took them to Felixstowe Cemetery and placed them on the family plot. The funeral service was totally befitting for the selfless and very fondly thought of man that Tony was. His immaculate TTE Supercharged IS200 SE was parked proudly in his memory 'front and centre' of the entrance for all to admire as they arrived. After the service the subsequent gathering at the Oyster Reach, Ipswich, was a wonderful event that gathered many of Tony's friends and family together to share their memories of him and enjoy looking at countless photos from the 80s, 90s and 00s. Happier days. As an enduring memory to all his friends of the LOC community, I have posted this photo of Tony with his pristine T90 OSE; a photo taken by our Mum circa 2004/5. Tony Goose 10 Jul 1966 - 9 Mar 2013 May he live on in the memories of all who knew him or were so fortunate to have met him. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluenose1940 153 Report post Posted May 12, 2013 I have to say that the sentence starting "His immaculate TTE" brought a lump to my throat. I always find that little things such as that at funerals is always very moving/emotional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
