Thanks to everyone for their comments.

He was a lively character and I greatly enjoyed his company. I spoke to Mrs. Capetonian yesterday and she is touched and grateful for all your comments, and asked you all to raise a glass of (if possible South African) red to his memory. She is doing as well as can be expected and of course greatly misses him – though time is a great healer.

I had missed his posts of late and feared for the worst. Great poster – informed, witty and sometimes controversial – but always insightful and pertinent. Sad loss.

This is indeed sad news. As a fan of Cape Town and indeed South Africa in general, I have always valued Capetonian’s many contributions to the Forum. I shall miss his humour and the wealth of advice/knowledge that he has provided over the years. My condolences to Mrs C and family.

Dear LP, although it seems strange to give thanks for this sort of news, thank you for letting us all know. Although he and I never met, and we sometimes (but rarely!) clashed, I still consider capetonianm to be one of the several virtual friends I have made in this forum, and am very sad to hear of his passing. I am glad you have passed on to Mrs C the many good wishes from posters on here, and add my own to the list.
Ian

Very very sad. His posts were always worth reading.
He took no prisoners and was a voice of reason.
The forum will miss him greatly.

Condolences to his family
