It's a nice idea and I'm sure his family would be humbled to know how much he will be missed here. Such a nice guy who was always up for a laugh and never down.

Does anyone have any way of contacting his family. I wish to send flowers to the funeral, or attend if the family are happy for non-family to be there.
Still coming to terms with this news,its very hard to take in,as its so close to home.

Amongst the other suggestions by Littlepeahead & Speedplay's, perhaps another suggestion would be doing something for the East of England Air Ambulance. In a rural area such as ours, it does a great job of getting help to all sorts of casualties and getting them to hospital far quicker than by road. I know they couldn't save Reeder, but on another occasion they just might make the difference.

Oh aye I wasn't sayin now, I don't think its would be very respectful at this moment in time.

I had a thought last night at bedtime. People can shout at me later...

How about having an org event later in the year, a social gathering and call it

The Andrew Reeder Memorial Weekend 2012.

Just a small thought, thats all

Yep, +1 to this Dizzy

No polls & no North/South fighting, need to make it a happy event

Like many, I never met Reeder, but always looked forward to his jokes, banter and (sometimes irreverent) approach to life, the universe and everything.
RIP
