Site News Farewell to "The Local Yokel"

It is with deep regret that I have to inform you that forum Co-Administrator - TheLocalYokel is leaving Forums4airports.

Unfortunately TheLocalYokel, (Jim) is sadly retiring from the forum due to Ill health. I'm actually unsure if Jim is able to view the forum but I would like to send him our best wishes and kindest regards from everyone on Forums4airports. You have been a true comrade, friend and supporter of the forum for many years and your unfaltering support has been most appreciated by everyone.

He will be greatly missed! My best wishes to him!

 

Yes and my best wishes too

 

Best wishes

 

He will be missed indeed! A very pleasant Gentleman, with a calm attitude and very knowledgable on a range of subjects. F4A wont be the same.

Best wishes TLY!

The BRS range of subjects and knowledge will never be the same.

Best Wishes Jim.

 

TLY you will be missed as you always spoke a great deal of sense whether you were posting as a forum Member or commenting as a Mod. However your first duty is to yourself and your family and we all wish you well in dealing with whatever health problems you are now dealing with.

 

A great shame to see this. Although life gets in the way these days I do like to dip into this forum from time to time, and LocalYokel was always an active and well respected member. Best wishes

 

A very sad day indeed and I can only echo the sentiments of others as to just how much he will be missed.

Throughout my interactions with him over the years (both on the forum and via private messaging) I have found him to be not only one of the most knowledgeable members but also a real gentleman and a thoroughly nice guy.

Jim, I can do no more than offer you and your loved ones my thoughts and prayers.

Best wishes Buddy.

 

While I have not known you personally, I echo what everyone else has said. Very knowledgeable and a real gentleman.

Sending my best wishes to him and his family at this difficult time.

 

Adding my thoughts and prayers to those of the others, Jim- I wish you all the best

 

Incredibly valuable contributor not just in respect of BRS but in all subject areas. Thank you so much and all the best for the future.

 

TLY you will for sure be missed.

Always found your posts very thorough and knowledgeable.

 

TLY and myself were both born during the Second World War, and both thought the same way about various problems in the world, an intelligent man whose contributions will be sadly missed, best wishes to you and your family.

 

Best wishes - a top guy.

 

Jim, from the first day that I came onto this forum and saw your Avatar I have smiled.

Others have already said almost everything that I could have wished to say. Thank you for all the support that you have given to both the forums and all its members. Whilst I did not appreciate quite how old you might be, I can only wish you and your family peace and may you, when the time comes, fly high.

May God bless you JIm.

 

Very best wishes.

 

Take care my friend and I hope you feel better soon.

I know you used to view my Brum urban photo's with interest

All the best for the future
