Sad news - RIP Oppers

#1

Post by Apocalypse »

I received one of those phone calls none of us want an hour or so ago.

It’s my sad duty to inform you all that our very good friend André Opperman - Oppers - passed away this evening.

I don’t really think he’s the type to Rest In Peace. Hopefully wherever guys like Oppers end up it’s got a lot of motorbikes and cars and boats with ridiculously large engines .

You will be missed buddy .

Sad news.

To those who didn't know him: Andre Opperman was a Husband & Father running a successful Optometrist Practice in Worcester.
Despite being Wheel Chair Bound he lived & wheeled, more than many 'able bodied' individuals.
He operated his XJ & his boat with abandon.

Rest In Peace Oppers...

Lynde sent me the following today:

"Hi Alex, Lynde here. I am flying up to Jozi tomorrow morning. I will send you the URL for the zoom funeral in case anyone wants to watch"

I will post the URL for those that want to join.



Valhalla is a place for those unafraid of dying.

but the Norse have a far better place for those unafraid to live.

If we are worthy we will meet him there again.

Skål.
