I’d just hate to think he was either incapacitated or alone thinking that no-one gave a *****.

As has been pointed out, Tony's brother and brother's wife live next door and, even before his incapacitation, undertook shopping duties for Tony - other than his local forays for cream slices.
Tony will not starve, and next door's dog was a regular lodger with Tony.

It's just sad that he doesn't keep us entertained with his witty* repartee.

* sorry if that is an unnecessary adjective.

On the internet nobody knows or cares that you are a dog. No bones, chews or walks. No nothing!

Seriously though it is sad that Mr Draper, who gave so many people pleasure, has vanished into the electronic cloud! I hope his corporeal presence is cared for and loved.

Sorry to pass on the news from TOP that the good Captain has passed away, last month.

Really sorry to say that.

Refer Bluey's post in Trabb there.

Sh!t. Thats really bloody terrible to hear. The world is a lesser place without him. 😔

Despite minor differences I had with Drapes, I respected him very much indeed and learnt a lot about life's realities from him during my early TOP days.

The Admiral has been, and will continue to be, sadly missed. I hope that he went knowing we were all concerned for him.

RIP 🙏

Probably not alone in that, he’s going to be greatly missed.
