Fernando, may he Rest in Peace

Lee, thank you for posting this news. Very sad indeed. Fernando was very committed to EEWRS and devoted a lot of time and energy to the forums as a whole, but especially to the European Armoury for which he was the lead Moderator. His freely shared experience and helpful attitude will be greatly missed.

Fernando's contributions to this site helped make it an enjoyable experience for members and visitors. As a Moderator, he tactfully enforced the policies of the EEWRS site, and at the same time wanted people to understand why the "rules" existed and how this was for the benefit of all who come here.

RIP Fernando. You are greatly missed.

That is very sad news indeed.
I did not know him as well as some of you did, being a relative newcomer to the collector's world, but we emailed a bit from time to time. He was always helpful and friendly. Condolences to all who knew him.

Sadly, just found out he has passed. He was a friend, and had invited me to visit him in Portugal a few times to drink Port wine and see his large collection. We argued about what was suitable to post here, He stopped posts for swords just before WW1, but as Mod, he was in charge.


I'm sad we will all lose his experience and knowledge, as well as his insights.


RIP Fernando, you will be missed here.

I only had a little contact with him, but it was very friendly. I am very sad and wish his family much strength and confidence. Farewell Fernando!
