He ran out of diesel between jobs two months ago and is still walking home due to the distance between his jobs and preference to working in the wilderness 1000's of miles away from civilisation.

His rich wife took his IPad off him and told him to start earning his keep instead of writing incoherent gibberish on a forum.

I wondered the same thing but dare not raise the question, as I worried he might reply and resume his endless insane drivels.

Yep, locked horns with him on numerous occasions, and threads of certain subjects will never quite be the same again. Even though he could always give as good as he got I'm sure he'll be missed- if not only for the 20-page 'heated' topics!
Very sad news and a real shame. RIP.

Theres an announcement in the local Bexhill paper about a "Nigel Hooper", which im presuming is our Nigel, it makes reference to donations to Bowel cancer, he passed away on Christmas eve.  Condolences to his family.

Be worth waiting for confirmation, if it’s true, then it’s extremely sad.

I don’t think Nigel hooper, is the clean it up Nigel.

We will have to wait for more details.

I thought there were a few guys on here that knew him personally.

I remember him saying once he lived in or near Bexhill, it stuck in my mind because i know someone down that way. Obviously the name and initial of surname are the same and  also the timing. Not conclusive i grant you but a hell of a coincidence if not.

Good points.

Be good to get confirmation. I always assumed he was quite young. 40’s maybe.

So tragic if true. He posted in August last year, so it was very quick if so.

The link to Nigel Hoopers  donation page  which takes you to the undertaker where you can access his details  says he was 51years old  and there's a picture of him too.

@ Mrs Hooper, if you need to use CIU as a resource for selling work or equipment, feel free to pick our brains regarding advertising selling etc, that's if you need to of course, I'm sure there will be plenty on here happy to help.

Thankyou, yes unfortunately I do need to sell Nigel’s van. 2008 silver Vw transporter T5130, approx 172490  mileage  & mot was done couple months ago, as was new discs and pads all round. 2 man Grippa hydro 9kw heat hot water system. 2 x 100m electric reels .500L delivery unit. Also to go with van is the 1000L storage tank in garage , 15m transfer hose for filling vehicle 25L tub of resin , 2 spare new carbon filters , 2 spare new sediment filters .
The work has gone and other equipment I don’t want to deal with until the van is sold.
Is this posted in the right place ?, I know how much nigel has paid just in the last couple of years on the van & new  added extra reel etc , so would be looking for about 10,000 , no vat .
I really only want enquiries if someone is truly interested as you can imagine , I’m sad to see Nigel’s van go  but unfortunately it’s something I have to do.

There is a section specifically for used equipment. Go to "Home" and there is a section for selling equipment (including vans) under Marketplace. Ebay could be another option. Pictures of the van and system would be a big help.

No Idea what value would be, but a good place to start is get a value for the van on its own and to add a bit depending on the system inside it.

Once again I am very sorry that Nigel is no longer with us.

I know it's a pain but you may need to advertise elsewhere to get it all sold, this forum isn't as busy as it used to be and you may have to wait a while on the for sale section, I'd put a detailed advert on the for sale section, then copy and paste it onto Facebook marketplace, eBay etc.

Mrs NWH, it's shocking news about Nigel. Please accept my condolences.

Regards selling the gear Nigel used this forum isnt the best of places. People come here to argue, joke, chew the fat and moan, but not generally to sell either work or equipment.

There is a group on Facebook called 'Window Cleaning Rounds For Sale'. You'll get lots more interest on that group than here. Even if you're not actually selling work, you can still sell equipment on it.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1495345394023448

Good luck.

That's fine Mrs. H. - By all means come back here if you want any guidance about any offers you may receive or how to proceed.

I'm truly saddened to hear of the passing of your Nigel. The banter we had on here with him seemed to be enjoyable for most of us and Nigel gave as good as he got in what I believed was a genuine way.

Please accept my condolences; and from your heartfelt memorial left on line it is obvious to me he was truly loved.

Thank you for sharing.

It's a game of three halves!
