Handle id #8069 : Derbyshire Ram
I'm sorry to have to tell you all that Derbyshire Ram (Barry), former member of groups like Dominators, Illusion and Avantgarde passed away peacefully at his home early on Sunday morning, 27th of May.
He has been so brave and fought cancer with every bit of effort he could find for four years. Right up until the Saturday evening prior was he sitting in his chair with all his children around him.
Rest in peace old friend. |

Rest in peace Derbyshire Ram.
It is very sad that another scener has just passed away. Derby was one of the few that gained respect of almost everyone in the scene, be it with his releases or with his dedication to C64, albeit his age was well over the average.
After Kjell, Edvin and Richard, another big loss for the scene.

I don't post much here, but I respect Barry and at my up coming days in the c64 world admired him. Every ware back then had his touch on it.
Even his name, so unique, as a person he was. Is very sad how time passes by so quickly and most people don't notice... Until something like this happens....
Rest in peace good buddy!

This is a tragic time for the whole scene.
I did have the honour of being a contact of Derby's for a while, even spoke to him on the phone a few times. He was a very friendly guy, especially since I was a 16 yr old kid back then hehe.
I was speaking to other people from other scenes about him, and we all agree that he should be in the scene hall of fame, not just for C64, but in general. His dedication was unquestionable, and it really touched me when I heard today from JC that he passed.
Rest in peace Barry, we are all still thinking of you... |

I did post on the other site... it's funny although I wasn't in contact with him in years, i remember a lot..
the thing about his other hobby, trains esp. . He always had time for people, which is a good quality.
I wonder if some of the rest of the uk people know about this.
bod,richie,ice cube to name but 3, maybe someone has contact with them, who knows.
nice to see some familour names here, just pity about the situation I saw them.
he helped cosine out anyway with the lethargy demo. even though , I remember demos weren't his fav things.
regardless i counted him as a friend, which is probably what the scene is about really.
I can only say I am glad / lucky to have known Barry.
RIP Barry.. |

Really sad to hear about barry, i was just looking up his name to say hello, i haven`t spoke to him for years.
I new him from the scene way back but had other connections, as he used to work at the same factory as i did before he retired early. He lived up the road from me and often phoned to discuss new releases and a like. I met him once or twice, he was a really nice bloke, just a shame i never got to say hello again after all this time.. R.i.P barry old m8 |

One of my best contacts while I was swapping in C64 scene. His packs always excited me, packs with good warez and always with personal letters/notes. He is surely a milestone for us sceners, and I feel priviledged to be his contact for a long time. I'm sure he will be remembered by a lot, a lot of people. May his soul rest in peace. |
