It was a tearfull time for all, even the ward sister and some of the nursing staff cried quietly. Karl had put up such a valiant fight but he was so tired

Karl will never be forgotten, he was that special sort of man, our thoughts must now be with Dot.

Thank you all.

Thanks for the info Audrey, it is indeed a sad event. I was in on the ground floor of his forums, and had many dealings with him personally, he was a good guy. I always felt though that the accident he had was going to leave him with a poor quality of life if he ever was to get out of hospital. He is no doubt in a better place now.

I have to say that I wasn't aware of Karl and his forums, but I can gauge from the reactions here that he was a good guy and that's the best way to be remembered.
