Capo.
With great sadness I have to report that I have received news that Capo has passed away.
He finally succumbed to deteriorating health and died peacefully at home on thursday morning.
I know that there are many in the club who will miss him.
At this point I have no details of any arrangements but will publish these in due course.
I first met Stewart at the last UKMOC trackday at Mallory Park in 2011.
He had run out of cigarettes and I spent the afternoon making roll-ups for him.
We became friends very easily and remained so for the following decade.
I'll not pull any punches here .. Stewart could be a cantankerous old bugger at times and he certainly didn't suffer fools gladly but those who knew him will know that he had an inner warmth and generosity of spirit which was both infectious and endearing.
His technical knowledge was extensive and he would willingly share this with anyone who shared his enthusiasm for motorcycles in general and Ducati in particular.
At times the sincerity of his friendship could be quite staggering.
So long, mate.
Thank you for being my friend.
I will miss you greatly.
