His daughter Stefanie, has put a post on the Bananas.org topic, with some pictures of happier times. Link is at the beginning of this topic.

We should plant togs favourite palm in his memory.
In his village or town, as a gesture from members of the forum.

Best Wishes to his family.

Today I have received a really nice hand made card today from Sally (Tog's sister) thanking everyone for their thoughts and prayers:

Thankyou for your kind thoughts. We are recovering from the shock and looking back the peace that was on tog's face we know the lord has taken him home to a much better place.

Tog's daughter Stephanie stays with us, my sister Maria and myself.

After his passing we spent 1.5 months to clean up his house and handed it back to the landlord on 31 July. We were very tired and his whole house was filled with stuff and most of the time it was just the 3 of us doing the work.

The front of the card was a picture done by Stephanie when she was 8 years old.

Bye and god bless you.

Sally

Thanks for the update John, it is good to know that his family is getting some sort of life back after the shock, and that Stephanie is not alone. That is a very good picture for a 8 year old, altogether she seems to be a very well educated and talented young lady. Is there any idea if she will continue her father's work in the nursery ? It seemed much too soon to ask that kind of question 2 months ago.

I should have found this site earlier!!!!!! I only joined january 2010!

I would have liked to have shared his experience with palm trees, it is a great loss. Condolencies to all his family. Rest in peace Tog Tan.
