Just heard a 67 year old British national, a Kef regular for the past twenty years, passed away on AntiSamos beach yesterday morning.

That is so sad, however if you did want a wonderful place to spend your last days I cannot think of anywhere more lovely .I hope he passed in peace.

It reminds me of when my father passed away, he lived for his work, it was his life, he had a massive heart attack, but at least he died doing what he loved, he was a coach driver, I can still hear the screams of the passengers....
