Yes I'll add my condolences, the loss of another font of knowledge who along with others will be irreplaceable.

Yes he suffered a short illness. Again we lose someone who was the ultimate enthusiast. He loved Oulton Park most. IIRC he had a column in Autosport back in the 80s entitled "Arront Nonesense". Always good for paddock gossip.
