My Dad RIP
« on: August 13, 2009, 02:03:17 PM »
He died in the early hours of Tuesday 11th August 2009 after suffering from Motor Neurone Disease and COPD for the last few years.

He helped make me the person I am today and for everything I am and have I thank him.

He was a massive villa fan and without him who knows what I've been. Ill never forget him taking me to the games in the Turner years and beyond. Sitting on the Witton Lane on the wooden seats eating fish and chips (the crisp type things) and him having a Bovril. I have so much to thank him for it is untrue.

He hadn't been to the ground for years due to his illness but watched everything he could, going mental at the TV wearing one of his various Aston Villa polo shirts. He's been getting H & V through the post the last few years and loved it, especially when people were having a good moan about all things villa. (Sorry Mr Woodall one less subscription, although your reminder letter arrived on the door step this morning which to be honest made me smile.)

Anyway you will be missed so much by me, mom, al, freya and all that have had the pleasure to have met you.

Love always

Chris

I am sorry for your loss mate.  The pain will ease slowly with time but the memories will remain for ever.
