Greg and l were great mates not so long ago. He was really passionate about his hobby and valued his mates.  I was shocked by his passing and send my deepest sympathy and condolences to his friends and family.

What a shock, I only met Greg a few times but he was always a laugh, very helpful and knowledgable.
RIP mate
So sad

Nino, could you please advise of any funeral arrangements as they may come to hand.  It might be nice for his family and friends to see how well respected and liked he was by the wider pinball community.

This is a great idea and possibly some flowers or a wreath that represents both forums would be a great testament to Greg

RIP Greg, as everyone else has stated, what a shock. I never had the opportunity to meet Greg, but ordered lots of parts from him over the last few years, excellent service always.

I didn't know the gent or ever speak with him but I have a good idea.

On the front page of the forum where all the icons are for various peoples websites, could the forum place a RTBB Greg Berry - Gone Fishing icon to pay permanent tribute to a gent that did a lot for the pinball industry.
It's only subtle having a RTBB - Greg icon box on the front page of the forum but it would be a great way to pay tribute and remember Greg. Maybe if you touch the RTBB icon a page of photos could be linked of the person.

Just an idea I had which I am sure his friends and Assosciates would support ? What do u think Nino/Guys.

I have some photos of Greg which I will pass on to the family. I'm thinking of a "Tribute" page in honor of him with Photos that I do have. We were currently (before this tragedy) planning the upgrade of the site, and Nick and I will look into a permanent Tribute page for him. Great idea.

Fantastic idea. We will set something up tonight or tomorrow.

In order to keep track, please advise on this thread, or PM Nick or myself. We will move everything across to the "Donations" thread.
