Fangio just sent me a private message. I'm very sorry to hear this.
He was last on the forum just two weeks ago.
Jim,
It is with much sadness that I write to inform you of the death of my good friend Nick Furley, who passed away suddenly on 08/08/14.
I felt that as Nick was on the Beta team, I should let you know, as some of you possibly knew him quite well.
Regards,
Ian
