Which I only mention because he got a normal confirmed obituary whereas his more famous wife couldn't scrape a single thing... makes sense...

Given the new layout, I'm assuming folk here can read these now. If not, I'll reproduce the thing.

 

Anyhow, Sir George is 83 and eminently obitable in due course, if you fancy a punt.

Yes, I can see that, thanks.

And while i'm at it: Victor, the dad of José de Cauwer is still alive at 102. At 100 he was Belgiums oldest pigeon fancier, but since then he has quit. 

 

edit: found a pic from 2 years ago where Victor was handed a 100 year old pigeon gazette

Bloody young death for a Mormon. Must've been engaging in sodomy on the sly or something for god to strike her down at such a young age.

Interestingly, her more famous husband has had a serious of major health issues lately. Announced he was "taking a break" in April 2023 because of kidney problems, and he had contracted COVID-19. 83 in December. One to watch.
