What a terrible sad shock for you GZ. But of course you carry Pirate inside you for eternity, their presence lives on. They are like spirit-souls. Stay strong. xxx
So very sorry for your loss, after so many years of wonderful memories. x
I'm so sorry. I never met him but feel I know him a little bit from your stories of your travels and adventures and he seemed well named The Pirate. I won't try to give advice everyone is different and will grieve in their own way but will hope that the many friends you have online and in person will be a comfort to you. Jessica.
Sorry to read this, G; I was privileged to meet him when you came down to help in the garden - one of a kind. Sending love, you take care xx
So sad to read this, the last of the Pirate's adventures; thinking of you and sending you hugs from New Zealand.
Love and condolences. So sorry to hear this. Melinda in Lancashire.
So sorry to read this. X
My sincere condolences. I’m sorry for your loss. KJ
I'm so sorry to read this. I am a latecomer to your blog, so don't know of the adventures you had together but it sounds like you had a wonderful life together, and the Pirate was quite a character.
Thinking of you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
I am crying. Never to see new photos of your (our) Pirate striding down lanes or winging round velodromes?
My dear, to you who took those photos—my heart goes out.
To Pirate: you have finished your race—well run. Or, rather, well ridden.
I am so sorry GZ.
i am so sorry for your loss,know that i am thinking of you x
Wishing you strength and peace in the weeks and months ahead.
My condolences. I am sorry to read this.
If I lived anywhere nearby, I'd be over in a flash to give you a big hug, and some tissues. So sorry we're only connected through the net...but I do feel I've known your Pirate through your love shown here on your blog. What a wonderful companion he's been, and a true athlete! Thank you for sharing so much of your lives together, so I can know a bit of how rich these times were. Everything we are saying now is but a drop of compassion, and can easily be forgotten. But your dear Pirate will live on in your memory.
I am so sorry to hear this. I was hoping he would get home again.
So sorry. My most sincere condolences to you, Gwyneth. You made Pirate a friend to many of us who never met him and we all mourn his loss. Bruce (Catalyst) in Arizona.
I am so sorry he's gone.
Sending hugs!
May his memory be a blessing, now & evermore.
I am so sorry to hear this and I am thinking of you. Take care. Sending love. Susan, Massachusetts
Gwynneth, I am so sorry. I didn't expect this news so quickly. I'm glad he had you and his friends around him to the last.
May he rest in peace. Sincere condolences. x

Holding you in my thoughts and Sending very kindest of wishes for you in the coming days and weeks.
So sad to hear this gz. I've been away from Blogger for most of this year. You have my deepest sympathy. May your pirate rest in peace and live on in your memory.
I'm very sorry. I've read your blog off and on for only a few months and not commented before. I could tell from your writing that he was a very special person. His passing is a huge loss.
I am so sad to hear about your loss and it is good you have people around you who care for you.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of you at this time. - Jenn
only just caught up on your posts, thinking of you and very sorry to read that Pirate has passed, thank you for sharing your journey. Blessings to you. Betty
Just caught up. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I didn't know Vic had passed away. Thinking of you here xxx
So very sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.
Oh gz I am so terribly sorry to just hear this, I’m just catching up. Thinking of you💝💐
I have only read this today, as I have not been looking at blogs for over a month - life has been so busy here (it is nothing serious, but very, very time consuming).So I was so saddened to learn today that Pirate passed away over two weeks ago.The pair of you always seemed such good companions - indeed, soulmates - and you had so much fun together over the years. I have been reading your blog for a long time and have quite a picture of what he was like. I am glad that he worked so hard to stay kind and helpful and was able to remain "himself"and reach out to others right up to the last days.
It's been so hard for both of you, and now you are being practical and brave. As with anything very tough, please be very kind and gentle with yourself too. And please accept my very sincere condolences. Jenny
