Guys,

I have just received some tragic news that Pedro Lever has passed away in his sleep last night.

I will not go into detail, but additional info can be found here on TBGA - just posted.

Condolences to Pedro's family and loved ones during this time of loss.

Pedro was a welcomed character on Ozbow and always joined in with great enthusiasm and loved the Aussie bush.

Rest easy mate.

Wow I cannot believe it. I never meet Pedro but had spoken with him when he was buying another couple of Widows earlier this year. Unknown to him apart from Mick Smith word this man trusted me with a considerable sum of money to buy his beloved Black Widows. Thank you for your trust, my thoughts are with you family and friends, travel well my friend.

I don't know anything about Mr. Lever, but I know how a death in the family feels. I can only offer my sincere sympathy to his family. However, having read his articles and seeing his very active lifestyle I'm shocked that a relatively young, healthy man can die in his sleep. Very tragic indeed.
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
