That's terrible news, but thanks for letting us know Jon, no doubt we'll here more soon, but I'm sure I speak for all of us in extending our best wishes to Clive for recovery.

Hello

Thanks for the updates.

Yes he is indeed in good hands at the Civic/Heart Institute.

Was just looking at his M38A1 the other day. It has become a reference for my rebuild.

Lets hope for a speedy recovery.

Eric

Quote:
It's with a very heavy heart that I inform you all of my father's passing. He passed away peacefully and comfortably yesterday evening having succumbed to his stroke.

In the coming days I will relay funeral arrangements for those who wish to attend.

Thank you to everyone who offered support, well wishes, prayers, and kept him in their thoughts during this difficult week. Your support was of great help and very appreciated by the entire family.

My sincere condolences to Clives family. He was only too happy to help me with the importation of my Sexton while he was at FA. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends and the hobby.

Clive's untimely death is huge loss to the study of the history of Canadian military materiel. He was a good friend and sometime work colleague for over 20 years. He was a huge help and encouragement to my research endeavours and although he could not always tell a Matilda from a Valentine, his vast photo archive was a tremendous resource. Dis Manibus

Gentlemen,

I wish to thank you all from the bottom of my hear on the kind words you've all written regarding my father. He truly was one of a kind and the entire Canadian military community has lost a great contributor.

Commonwealth military community! You underestimate the respect and esteem in which he was held worldwide.

As diverse and widespread as members of this forum are, we are a remarkably a like-minded bunch, and we recognise those shining lights who illuminate our various paths. There are many, known and unknown, who would be the lesser without the influence and knowledge that Clive has given us. We cannot know the depth of your loss, but rest assured that many share your sense of sadness at the passing of a unique man.

Clive was a true gentleman and a pillar of the collecting and research community. It was an honour to work with him on a few projects and to call him a friend. From one ex-Guardsman to another - 'Civitas et Princeps Cura Nostra'.
