RIP to a fellow Black Country Villa fan

Kind of brings home to you that when one of us lot passes on, even if not a particularly regular, noticeable poster, it's still quite affecting. Obviously the Villa bonds us, but it's more than that. A community of people who discuss and bicker and say funny and silly things in equal measure. And yet, we in most cases will never meet in person. A curious achievement of the modern age I guess.

Perfectly put eamonn, and a sad loss .

Eamonn summed it up perfectly.

I remember having a few run-ins on here with Rutski. Pretty much always because his positive defence of Villa and staunch loyalty to the team showed me up to be the cynic that I really am. It’s strange how the single thing that binds us together – the love of Villa – can also form the basis of some really silly ( on my part) discussions. He always gave as good as he got and has my total respect for that. I also followed the Kingswinford Lions on Twitter ( which I presume Rutski was behind?) and their upbeat posts about all things Villa showed a true passion for our club.  And what about the fantastic Lions badge he created? My best regards to his family. I seem to remember him mentioning his kids a few times on here? A terrible time for them, I would imagine, and my thoughts and good wishes are with them.
