Crossy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 It is with deepest regret that I have to announce the sudden and totally unexpected death of my close friend Andy Fletcher (andyfletch). Andy suffered a massive heart attack on sunday morning only hours after his final post on ThaiVisa, sadly he died before reaching hospital. My heart goes out to his partner Nid and all the family and friends he leaves behind. Rest in Peace my dear friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgoz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 44 is young for a heart attack. Did Andy have a problem before with his heart or was it totally unexpected? I'm approaching that age and it makes me think about making some lifestyle changes. Was Andy a big lad? Did he drink a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know he liked a few beers or 10. Best to see what Crossy has to say as he knew him better than most. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai-Spy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 We'd like to add our condolances and respectfully suggest to the OP (or another of the departed's real-life friends) that he could be of great service to the family. If they aren't computer savvy, perhaps you might offer to help them sort out the deceased's electronic and online affairs. This could include: - Maintaining electronic communications with overseas family. - Notifying other online communities of the death. - Changing the account details for any online banking or brokerage. - Making printouts of any important files relating to relationships or finance. And (not meaning to cast any unwarranted aspersions) generally clean-up any files that might leave an unfavorable impression of the departed. We'd also suggest that steps be taken to permanently preserve the hard-drive's content by burning the files to CD or another method. If the family are computer neophytes they could accidentally delete something that may be crucial in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
