About today's header: Ten Thousand Motels
Mar 27^th, 2010 at 9:29am

Today is his birthday but, no, that's not the reason to post a header dedicated to him. I think it's time to give you some information about him: Some months ago he told Gazza and I that he was very sick by cancer, we have been trying to contact him when we noticed his absence from the board and got no answer.

To be honest I think he already passed away, if not surely he still very sick as you know... cancer sucks

Happy birthday Mr. Motels wherever you are, please now rise your hands and let us know if you're alive, I cannot ask if you're dead or alive but if you're alive please let us know

Steve (Motels) told us last July that he'd been diagnosed with lung cancer and that it was untreatable. He did however say that it was a long-term thing and that he'd been told that it wasnt advanced - yet.

In case anyone's wondering why it hadnt been mentioned until now, its simply because he asked us not to and we felt it best to respect his privacy. He said he'd 'gradually disappear' from the board and didnt want to 'announce' it.

However, he hasnt logged in since October and even though I've mailed him a couple of times since then to see if he's ok, I never got a response.

It doesn't sound too positive, to be honest, but we can only hope that he's ok - and if he's not, that it was as peaceful for him as can be hoped.

Best wishes to him on his birthday. God bless ya, mate.

I know he had mentioned health issues in the past, and howe could you not notice his absence. I thought of him this week, and wondered if he was okay. Wishing you the best, TTM, wherever you are.....
