The new news 24 thread

[Mally]

Very sad news, I did read much of his input, good and bad, but you never expect it to come to this. RIP sir.

[wuvvum]

Oh shit, that is horrible.

[oldcars]

Today started well

 

Had a message about 20 minutes ago, I'm very sorry to say that Hendry of this parish took his own life yesterday evening at the age of 30.

 

Some of his more recent struggles were documented on here, none of which were good - I can only hope he is now at peace.

 

I did have the pleasure of meeting him a few times and a nicer bloke you could not hope to meet.

 

All of you - it is never as bad as you think. PLEASE talk to someone if you're having a time of it, it will help.

 

R.I.P. Greg.

This is horrible, So so sad to read. I never met the chap but is posts always interested me. What a crying shame. RIP pal, you will be missed 

[bramz7]

RIP Hendry. Poor guy, must have had some real demons to do that. The worst thing to do is have no one to talk to, because you're left to your own thoughts and they consume you.

 

I'll miss his input, he was pretty active o. Flickr too.

[Jim Bell]

Fucking hell lads. What awful news. Really sorry to hear Hendry was in that much pain. The board will be poorer without him. As will the people that knew him well, Im sure.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Fuck!

I hope he finds Paradise is full of locally registered Escorts with matching plates and dealer stickers, you just know he'll know the month of production from the brand of tyre originally fitted.

[tooSavvy]

... punching wardrobes? Different kinds of pain, we might guess :/

Jesus christ , what awful news and an awful situation for his family. 

[drum]

Shocking news about Hendry.

He was a character and I'll miss his posts. Must be devastating for his friends and family. RIP

[fordperv]

Shit thats terrible the poor fella, thoughts out with his family and friends r.i.p hendry

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I'm new so I'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure of knowing the guy but that is such sad news.  I remember reading about the access to his daughter and that that was an awful situation to be in.  Dreadful.

[They_all_do_that_sir]

So sorry to hear that. Awful news. RIP Hendry

Man that's utterly horrible to hear. A nice guy that was suffering. Like many of us, he suffered from depression but it got the better of him this time.

 

Unfortunately it's the biggest single killer of men our age. There really isn't enough accessible support for it.

 

So sad. RIP Greg Hendry.

[xtriple]

Christ, don't know what to say. God bless mate, sleep easy now

[BavarianRetro]

Fuck. Dreadful, dreadful news. Spoke to him privately a couple of times.

 

 

Seemed close to his Dad, too. Imagine how they must be feeling.

His younger sister passed away suddenly at the age of 24 about three years ago. Can't imagine what his folks are going through.

Ah fuck. Thoughts with family. I can relate to his issues though,not seeing my son for years due to ex causing issues, anxiety and depression. I am pulling myself out of that hole but sadly the cross can be too heavy for some folk to carry. I never met him but he seemed sound enough on here. Drive safe up there buddy.

[mrbenn]

That's so sad, the poor bloke

 

Never met the chap but was amazed by his car knowledge, always found his posts interesting.

 

RIP Hendry

[chodweaver]

That is such sad news. +1 for something in memory of him.

 

RIP Hendry

RIP Hendry. A memorial round at shitefest?

 

Remember chaps, there's always another option and another route to get better. Happy to take PMs any time as I've mentioned in other threads.

Yep, ill raise an escort to him in the field of 2018 dreams!

[dollywobbler]

That's pretty sobering news right there, and not an isolated case either - second such instance I've seen this year of a young man deciding it's all too much. Remember, you are not alone, even if you think you are, and if you think 'oh, no-one will miss me.' you couldn't be more wrong. I didn't even know the man, and I'm feeling knocked for six.

[clayts450]

Awfully sad news. RIP Hendry

[MorrisItalSLX]

Such terrible news.

 

RIP Hendry.

[alf892]

Bloody hell. I can't imagine how bad someone must feel that ending it is a solution.

 

RIP Hendry of the Long Post

[plasticvandan]

Very sad,he was on here at 5pm yesterday as well.Though i can fully understand why he felt that was the answer,ive come close a couple of times in the last year,and not doing too well at keeping the thoughts away at the moment either,there is very little anyone can say or do that will pull you out of that spiral im afraid.

[gm]

the poor guy, very sad news

[Datsuncog]

Bloody hell. Just twigged on when a mention was made of sending a floral tribute on the forum funding thread.

 

Desperately saddening news - as already mentioned, Hendry was an absolute one-off. The level of knowledge he brought to the forum on a few obscure and arcane topics were unsurpassed. Seemed like a genuinely nice chap and while he had posted extensively about the ongoing issues in his personal life, it's heartbreaking that he felt unable to find a way through.

 

This place, and the wider world, is poorer without him. And the same applies to anyone feeling that they've nowhere to turn. Not seeing any other option doesn't mean that there is no other option - which is why talking, connecting, being open with each other about how we're feeling is so important. Another perspective can help to change a seemingly impossible situation for the better. It's got to be worth trying.

 

I've no great wisdom, so I'll shut up now, but my sincere condolences to Greg's family and those who knew him well. Gone far, far too soon.

 

 

[The Moog]

That is really shocking. 

 

He will be sadly missed - as stated above he seemed to be going through the mill with his baby. He obviously felt as if he could share on here and that people would listen to him. 

 

I am sure we can sort something out for the funeral.

Well said, i did'nt ever meet that chap, but i'm sitting here feeling numb. Sad sad day.
