The news, courtesy of daughter:
Grandad, whom Longrider and I knew as Richard … well, the three of us started up Martin Scriblerus, while Longrider and I started up Orphans … obviously with other fine folk too.
There is Richard’s wife, plus at least one daughter I know of. She is the one who posted.
One of the interesting aspects was that Richard liveblogged the whole saga, not unlike Grandpa at Orphans and I also fully intend to do so if possible, when the time approaches.
Many thoughts about the whole saga.
One daughter, Kate, who used to have a blog K8 the Gr8. A chip off the old block. 4 grandchildren whom he wrote about sometimes . The eldest of those was disabled and now sadly diseased. Daughter has a lot on her plate just now as her mother – Grandad referred to her as Herself – is bedridden I think and Grandad was her main carer. 😢
……
JH: Yes.
Oops typo – deceased not diseased 😳
