Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I always enjoyed his commentary.

Pancreatic cancer is just so horrible.

Closer than you think

Sad news indeed. I'll miss his well informed and amusing observations.

his observations were a pleasure to read..

I saw him at the Cheltenham Literature festival 2 years ago. He did a really funny informative talk on wine, to coincide with his book.

Sorry to hear he's departed so soon

Very clever man, sadly missed

And I lost a very close relative to pancreatic cancer, it is a horrific disease

That's a bummer, I enjoyed his column in the grauniad.
