I'm the bringer of sad news.
Simon Goodwin, who many of the stage rally world will know as a lovely guy and a very good radio operator on rallies, died this morning.
I've copied the post from his wife -
He’s had various complications with his treatment since his cancer returned last year, and unfortunately, one of those treatments at Christmas caused the succession of problems that have followed.
He’s spent the last two weeks in hospital on 24/7 oxygen, and yesterday the decision was made to stop his meds as they weren’t working.
With the assistance of some painkillers today, he died a peaceful death.
We, as a family, along with Simon’s brother and sister in law, were all together yesterday, and today.
With the hospital’s permission, he was allowed a whisky, which he enjoyed - from a very expensive bottle he’d bought for his 65th! We joined him with a glass of wine.
