All the heavies from my childhood seem to be dying off now. I wonder how many regret wasting their lives for the lie that they will never die? -

Yes he was an elder in the Leeds Roundhay congregation.

I see Geoff Woodfield is on that list, was an elder in my old cong, a very decent man and close friend of the family, I wonder if he is still officially a CO?

Anthony Manning came off in 2015. Public Reproof I heard. Don't know why.
David Hudson off due to age 70 rule; elder in Swansea South Wales neck of the woods I believe. Alive and well and gave a talk at the Cardiff Regional in 2017.
Don Holley (who took himself off in 2013 in his seventies - did he see the redundancies coming the year after?) was alive and well and gave a talk at Cardiff Regional in 2017.

Over 70 so given the boot Freddo. He's been a CO and foreign language DO. Company man for years. Married to a daughter of an old school anointed fella. Nice guy overall that's been put on the shelf by the org he served for years.
Nothing better than a career in Jehovah's service hey?
