From the Author's Hangout:

News:-

I have received a letter from Ogg's wife who informs me that Ogg died on the 30th May, peacefully at home with his family.
His funeral is scheduled for 14-07-23 at 15:20hrs. His daughter Kate is investigating the possibility of live-streaming this event.

May he rest in Peace.

He was also a frequent poster here on the PB whether you agreed with him or not.

He and I had our debates

But we talked off line

I respected him a lot

May he rest in peace

If its streamed, let us know

Definitely a tough SOB who had “been there and done that”.

He lived a life.

Deepest heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

God save the queen.

did lance write his, "i'm leaving lit forever!" post?

One of the only posts you and I agree on, Jussie!

Sad news. His posts were consistently thoughtful, informed, and civil.

 

[jomar]

He was OG for sure. RIP OGG

 

[butters]

rip Ogg. I'll never see a Henry VIII film without thinking of your avatar.

glad he passed peacefully and with people he loved close by. He outlived his docs' predictions by years and if there is an afterlife, i'm sure he's enjoying it to the fullest.

 

[phrodeau]

I’m honored to have engaged with him here.

 

[zipman]

This news truly saddens me. He was always fair, articulate and posted here without any rancor.

He will be missed. R.I.P.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Requiescat in Pace, good Englishman. You lived life in full.

 

[PaxNurgle]

He was one of the more thoughtful, engaging, and reasonable people on here, a great writer and educator. I am sad to hear this. I knew he was in poor health but I always hoped he would pull through.

 

[Chobham]

Sad to hear, a worthy adversary in the arena of ideas.

 

[VinnyVeritas]

Yeah. Too bad.

 

[HisArpy]

He had his moments. His comments occasionally inspired rancor and sometimes consisted of spite but they always promoted his point of view on the issues. The debate was spirited because it was driven by his spirit.

May his spark help light the sky in the afterlife.

 

[Rightguide]

I knew he had been ill and I wondered out loud where he was, inwardly concerned it might be bad news. We had our problems but I'm sorry to hear he has passed on

 

[domroger]

Another good man gone.

 

[LLCox]

R.I.P.

His absence was notable, spirited debater, so sad. Rest in peace OGG and my condolences to the family.

[PaxNurgle]

He was the type of poster I always aspired to be. Admittedly, sometimes I fall short, largely because I get more easily frustrated with certain things I encounter on this forum. But I admired not only his knowledge, but the way he was able to explain things in a reasonable and fair way.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

I respected his bravery and honesty about his cancer. Not many on here have that type of courage. RIP Ogg!

 

[coati]

I'm sorry to hear about this. I'm on this board less frequently than some others, and i had been wondering about Ogg.

Makes you realize who really contrbutes to the sense of community on Lit. He really did.
