This morning my boss came in and informed us that Specialized finally lost his battle against cancer and passed away peacefully last night.

Reading this thread over the last 9 months has reminded me what is important and how there is no point worrying about little things in life that, at the end of the day, don't really matter.
The strength, pride, dignity and most of all humour displayed by you in your last stages of life have been inspirational.

Rest in peace mate. Condolances to family and friends on this dark day.
Never met, but absolutely gutted to hear this, but as when my mother passed (and from what he has been through) he is in a much better place now.My thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. I'm glad that (and hats off to you lads) his work colleagues really pulled the stops out to make his twilight months the best they could have been.As said, never met Specialized before but his courage in the face of adversity is an example to us all. I only hope I would have the same strength of character if in the same situation.RIP fella
Sir you were a true inspiration to so many people including myself.
Your family and friends were lucky to have known and Loved you.
My thoughts are with them all today.
Your thoughts and words on this thread have been extraordinary, If I’m ever in this situation I hope I can summon up half the strength you did.
Stand at ease mate, stand at ease.........................

Sir,
Thanks for sharing your final journey with us. I believe you have inspired and given hope to others in similar situations.
My thanks and condolences go to your family, friends and work colleagues that really did pull out the stops for you and left joyful memories that will go some way to easing their sorrow at your passing.
Your physical pain has now gone but those who know you will take some time to adjust to the pain of their loss.
Rest In Peace.

Rest easy Fellah.
The way you faced adversity and the spirit with which you deported yourself has left all of us feeling humbled.
Thank you for sharing with us the good times as well as the bad times and for showing us the important things in life.
As my Dad keeps telling me, "At the end of the journey, the traveller will always find his rest." I hope you have now found yours.

Your bravery in facing this has been truly inspirational. It has helped us to cope with my mother in law's illness more than I can say and for that a heart felt thank you.
Now RIP mate, I never met you but your posts on this forum will live on in my memory.
