The worst e-mail I have ever received...
Today an e-mail dropped in to my inbox it read:
Dear Rich, I have been trying to get in contact with you via your mobile
phone. Please can you call me as soon as possible, on the house phone, which is *********.
My mobile had not had any missed calls - I think that they had been trying to contact me on my old number.
Alarm bells started ringing - I hadn’t heard from Paul for about a week and a half. I rang, and was hit with the news that Paul had passed away.
I have known Paul Coggan for around 10-14 years and he was and always will be an inspiration to me. He was a fantastic writer specialising in historic warbirds, via his own magazines and books also contributing monthly to other publishers magazines.
Whatever life through at him (and in the years I knew him it threw a lot) he continued with a positive attitude and made the best of the situation - above all he was a great friend.
Paul you will be missed so much. My love and thoughts are with you and your loved ones.

I'm sorry rich, hope you're ok xx
Cheers, just couldn't believe it - such as shame!
Sorry mate. :( Hope you are ok.
Very sorry to hear your news, hope you're ok.
Thanks for the thoughts - Just a shame. It brings it home to you that you have to make sure that you live your life to the full each day, and enjoy the ride even if it is doing boring work.
