Adie

Anyone who frequents the tracks and paths of Lodmoor regularly will at some point have bumped into Adie. A Loddy stalwart, he loved the place, and all its wildlife. A keen photographer of the birds, insects, and mammals that frequent that place, and with a great knowledge of the comings and goings of the many species there, and all the Weymouth area. Posessing a dry to wry sense of humour that i really liked, i never heard a bad word spoken of him. We all knew he had been fighting lots of health problems in recent years, and me with my friends were willing him through these. A guy i hadn't known long, but he had touched my life briefly through our common hobbies, and i was always glad to see him. Adie's problems overtook him this week, and i think i can say we were all 'gutted'. RIP Adie.
