Hi Becky,
Sorry to here about your Dad.
I often used to get up from reading his posts to find something else to do because I had something in my eye.
Take a wee bit of comfort of how respected your Dad was on here by the amount of messages there are.
Although I wont be able to raise a glass at that time I will a bit later in the night, when no doubt, I will have something in my eye again

My thoughts are with you all.

RiP Foggy
 
Becky,
So very sorry for your loss. He was an inspiration to many and put a lot of things into perspective. It was clear from his posts how much love and joy you gave him. A brave man to the very end.
rip foggy lad.

This is Becky, foggy's daughter.

I'm so sorry to tell you all that my Dad passed away last Monday on October 12th.

I don't think I need to tell you how amazing he was. Despite suffering two strokes at the end of September and being left only able to speak a few words at a time, he was still cracking jokes right to the end. We managed to bring him home from the hospital, to be cared for where he was comfortable and where we were able to visit him. He passed there, in his home, surrounded by his closest family.

The words strong or brave don't really do him justice in my mind. Though he very much deserved it, he never wanted any attention or praise, and so I'm going to observe his wish to maintain anonymity. I would like to genuinely thank you all for your support over the last three and a half years. I know it meant a lot to him. He taught me to appreciate what I have, to be independent and proud but always humble, and I still can't quite imagine going through life without him. I'm so glad I have this place to revisit, to hear him through his writing. I smile a little bit to think he didn't realise that I already knew how much he swore.

The funeral is on Friday afternoon. If you would like to do anything, please raise a glass, or, better yet, a cuppa, to Foggy at 3:30pm. I'm sure he would have loved that.

Thank you again.

Please accept my sincere condolences. Your Dad was an inspiration to so many. The truth of how much he helped and inspired so many people will never be fully known or understood. His strength and courage during what must have been truly awful was incredible. I could fill pages of what he meant to so many people. But it still wouldn’t do him justice. The world is a lesser place without him.
Rest in peace foggy marra. I will miss you.

Just seen this and it's made me terribly sad. Can not imagine what you're going through.

Your dad was a true champion and he was immensely proud of you. His writing, whilst going through the toughest if times was a pure testiment to his strength and humour.
 
Just seen this. Sorry for your loss Becky. No doubt it`s already been said but his Chemo chronicles were an inspiration, showing the way he handled it with good grace and humour
 
Just seen this as well. I followed some of Foggys posts and the guy was class personified whilst dealing with this battle. I’m overwhelmed by the love and care you showed your family even when you were being overwhelmed by the various pains you were going through. In a very important way you won Foggy, you didn’t let this horrible thing envelope your emotions and made sure everything would be in place for ya family and you beat it good and proper in the end. Rest in peace mate and my thoughts are with your daughter and family.
