A massive loss to the ford community and a tragedy for his loved ones. He will be missed. RIP

It appears that according to AFF records it would have been Gothefalcon's Birthday today.

Was heart failure the cause of death?

Does it honestly matter?

Same result no matter what the cause was.

Hi Everyone

I know that it is very late (at the time of posting this) but I thought I would post up that it has been 12 months since Dhru's passing.

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.

I met Dhru by chance in the Barossa valley in our around Australia trip with our Bf wagon. I saw his wagon and thought that’s something special I have to talk to this guy. That’s my wife talking to him….. we exchanged phone numbers and talked for ages. This photo was taken 2 or 3 days before he passed…. He had plans of catching up in a few months in Newcastle….. should have posted this photo a year ago sorry.

Can someone please help me upload a few photos of Dhru a 2 or 3 days before he passed…. They are probably the last ever photos taken of him. I took them and it was the first time I met him
