Obviously a dearly loved, and admired man.I am sure his story will inspire others.
And i think it would be good, if Rusty Gates story (as told to us forum members) was put out for others. If his family agree. .

Very sad, he appears to have had a good life though and had seen a lot of places.

This thread has been on my radar the past few days however I've just read it all

So sad, never interacted with the guy but doesn't mean I won't miss him any less, if he's a member on here, then he's one of the family!!!!

I will be finding a quiet corner somewhere when I'm home with a good coffee and will be reading his Alaska thread start to end, I've already done a few pages when he initially posted it but then kind of lost track and didn't bother to catch up

RIP Fella

I had the joy of reading his Alaska thread several months back, an amazing journey!

Did not know him personally but will be missed all the same!

R.I.P
