Vale AFF member - Penegal

[QF WP]

I’ve just been alerted to his death earlier today from social media - thanks for the alert @Ade.

Shocked and sad as we go back 20+ years and I’ll have stories to share later.

We’d better make him “in memorium” handle.

May he forever be Copper (his attendance at a function, we could never be sure do we made him Copper ).

Fly high @penegal

 

[blackcat20]

He will very much be missed in our house

Such a great friend such devistating news.

Oh, that’s terrible news. I once had a jaunt around the Barossa with him. I don’t think my liver ever recovered.

Forever copper - vale, mate.

RIP @penegal , a.k.a. forever Copper status.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

We are just devastated here - such a character who was immediately loved the minute you met him - a truly lovely young man whom we will never forget - our heartfelt condolences to his equally lovely sister and mum and dad - you will be in our hearts forever penegal

Very sorry to hear this.

I messaged him yesterday and received a reply now he is gone, I am in shock.
My inner thoughts were, wtf.

 

[pagingjoan]

Our most recent shared wine dinner was a treat.
Vale!

Terrible news. I am in shock.

RIP @penegal

I was only able to attend a few Melbourne AFF functions, but Penegal still remembered me. He was great to chat with. His AFF posts were interesting and informative. I loved reading his banter with other forum members.

I'm shocked at the news. Have known @penegal since i first joined here and had many good times over the years and as recently as April where we caught up for lunch.

 

[kpc]

Im shocked...I think ive known him since around 2006 or so (edit: @Bundy Bear tells me it was 2010 at AFF gathering #4 in Bne). I remember fondly when he left his shoes in my hotel room in Melb! RIP mate!

 

[Quickstatus]

I’ll have stories to share later.

Do share thanks

Vale @penegal

 

[JessicaTam]

Terrible news. Quick the shock.

 

[Lowjhg]

Terrible terrible news to start the day.

Vale @penegal

 

[I love to travel]

Condolences to his family

I have just spoken to Penegal's sister and she's absolutely devastated, just heartbroken. I can't even imagine how his parents must be feeling right now.
All I can say at this stage is that Penegal apparently pased away peacefully in his sleep.
I'm terribly saddened that I will not see Penegal again. He was such a good friend, always generous, never once said I don't have time for you now, I'll talk to you later.
Penegal, you will be missed more than I can put into words. Fly high my dear friend, forever Copper.

 

[Aeolus]

One of the first AFF I’ve met and I’m absolutely shocked and devastated by the news. He would always be remembered as someone who is extremely generous, funny and smart. RIP Penegal

Very sad news, vale @penegal - similar to @kpc @QF WP etc. must have been about 20 or so years that I met him.
