I have included some photos of other AFF members that have passed away.

I have a few more but I think this will be enough for now.

I will miss you Mark

Yes, RIP @tuapekastar.

[Bundy Bear]

And Richard (@ric_melb I think)

Yep; thanks for searching for it.
Sadly I was talking to penegal about the passing of both Richard and Chris in the past week or so.
Sadly all 3 were big drinkers.

There was one funny moment a few years ago where Richard and Chris were still drinking and Mark needed a nap.

 

[CLT Aussie]

RIP Mark - I haven’t known him as long as some on here, but very much enjoyed his company over a bottle or 3 at dinners at OT, or somewhere appropriate to drink burgundy. He’ll be sorely missed

@penegal's departure was noted in the latest edition of Talkmail (Flyertalk regular email).

 

[trippin_the_rift]

Sad news, and my thoughts are with his close friends and family.
Some great memories with Mark over the years when I was in Aus, and this thread is a reminder of the community spirit of AFF.

 

[JohnK]

Sad news. Only just found out after seeing a Facebook post.

RIP @penegal.

Can you share details?

Can you share details?

They arent available yet.

 

[Flyfrequently]

Usually on the website a few days prior @blackcat20 and @RooFlyer unless specifically for family only to circulate.

 

[Buzzard]

Often you can contact the funeral home and they will give you the details.

@Cruiser Elite, I have taken the liberty of posting the details on FlyerTalk, where there is a similar thread.

I have tentatively booked a room at Hyde in Melbourne and will look at flights shortly.

My best chance is a web stream, as I'm too snowed in at work, and the very day the funeral is on is the worst in the week to ask for permission. (If only it were the day before)

Huge respect to all here who will be able to make the time to go, pay respects and celebrate the life of @penegal

 

[Princess Fiona]

I have booked flights and accommodation. Flying down Tuesday morning and back Wednesday.

 

[Noah Count]

I have also flights and accommodation sorted. This is a catch-up/meet up that no one wants.

 

[Princess Fiona]

There is a dinner organized for after the funeral. Please DM me for deets if you wish to attend.

It’s not an AFF event but there is a huge crossover between us all as that’s the kind of person Mark was.
