TLA: RIP 10:37 - Aug 5 with 107336 viewsSwailsey

Hello all,

Lisa has asked for me to pass this very sad news on.

Unfortunately we lost Oz yesterday. By all accounts he wasn’t in any pain or afraid.

I know the messages below were recieved and provided comforted to both him and Lisa.

RIP Oz. I wish we had met sooner than a year ago.

You were a fu*king hero and someone I knew would be a friend for life.

Marc

It’s with a very heavy heart that I received a message from TLA’s wife last night saying he is critically ill in hospital at the moment and isn’t conscious. He has been battling health problems for a while it seems.

TLA has been a wonderful (digital and in person) friend to me since meeting him on here and I know he has been supportive of many others on here too.

He recently deleted his profile (I’m unsure of the reasons why - perhaps connected) but I know his wife still reads TWTD, so I’m calling on all of you wonderful people to help make this a thread of love, support and best wishes to them both and their friends and families (this thread has her blessing).

Let’s give him something TWTDesque to read.

Hang in there mate. The world is an immeasurably better place with you in it. Missed you at half time yesterday.

Hi folks,

It's been lovely reading all the updates to this thread tonight, and I love the idea of the book!

Dolly - your poem was outstanding. Oz is actually quite obsessed with The Wizard of Oz, and who doesn't like the word 'ok'?? You should maybe be in advertising or something...

The only update I have this evening is that there's no change. He's still 'comfortable', still sedated and still critical. Still fighting though!


Hopefully the news of us signing Toto will spur him on. Not sure we can manage a Dorothy, but a tinman or scarecrow is plausible of sorts.

All the best to you both still.

Some news on signings might perk him up, Phil. See what you can rustle up.


I'll see what I can do.

How about one of those photo books? Put the avatar of each poster with their post and user name? I’ll pay for it if you have the time to get do it mate?

Just a thought. What do you think?


Happy to chip in towards any expenses.

Keep fighting, TLA!

I have never had any interaction with him but, judging by the messages here, he is a top boy and one of our own.

Sending thoughts, best wishes and positive vibes to all concerned.

Keep fighting TLA

Update from Lisa:

Oz is still stable, they've decreased his sedation and there is an improvement on yesterday. He's breathing for himself now.

C'mon Oz.
