Heard about this also. Was on his watch for a short while at TC then swapped onto a watch that spun onto it. He also gave me good advice and I respected his integrity and viewpoints. Being a fellow Scotsman I was able to 'get' his humour while it would mostly fly over the heads of our english colleagues
I believe though that his treatment in the not so distant past (those in the know will know what I mean) was dreadful and badly handled.
A sad loss indeed....
