[Harp-L] Douglas tate

[Roger Trobridge <gopher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Douglas Tate's wife, Barbara, asked me to post this for her.

16th November

Douglas passed away peacefully in his sleep at 00:10 GMT, close friends and members
of his family shared his last few hours. 

He fought his final illness with a quiet dignity and bravery - and of course, humour
- that was an inspiration to all who were privileged to help and support him, from
however far away. His determination to ensure that his work is not forgotten and the
pleasure that his playing gave to so many people will be his enduring legacy. 

Douglas's family wish to thank all those friends who supported them through these
times and the people involved in all aspects of Douglas's medical care, especially
the staff of Willen Hospice, Milton Keynes, UK.

Barbara will post further details on Douglas's web site as they become known
