I start this thread with a generic name, because I suspect it can be reused in the future. It is intended for announcements of the death of members of this group.

From David Langford's latest Ansible:
"Geoff Thorpe (1954-2019), UK fan, convention-goer and South Hants SF Group member, died in early April."
This is LT member Ringman. I met him several times, a very friendly gentleman. I shall miss him.
An brief obit from the South Hants Science Fiction Group on Facebook:

"Geoff Thorpe 1954 – 2019.
We are sorry to hear that long-time SHSFG member Geoff Thorpe passed away last month. He discovered fandom later in life when UK fan Fran Dowd met him online on Library Thing and convinced him that he might enjoy SF conventions. He attended the 2005 Worldcon in Glasgow and was subsequently introduced to the SHSFG. He joined in 2006 becoming a regular, active member hosting Book Club meetings and Christmas parties. He remained a con-goer, attending Eastercons and World Cons as well as a host of smaller cons in the UK and continental Europe.
He also represented Cambridge University and England in domestic and international Tiddly-wink competitions."
