My Dad 22-3-1930 - 14-7-2013

[Mike Jeffries]

This has been the first pre season since I was very little, that I've not been able to have the "How will the Villa do then!" conversation with my Dad. There aren't any rules to how we deal with the loss, none that mean a damn anyway! Anything that works is allowed (Well you know within the laws of the land and all that!). Nine months down the line it's easier to deal with, doesn't mean you forget him for a minute, just that you honour his life by living yours. So give em a shout on Saturday for your Dad for mine oh and for me cos a niggling bloody illness is stopping me going! UTV!

RIP to your father. UTV!

Your Dad was obviously a brilliant bloke and a true Villa fan and shared that with you HV.
Nothing better than that and like mine and others, your Dad will be with at every game.
RIP Mr HV.
UTV!

RIP indeed. Keep you chin up HV!

[Hampshire Villa]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I know that he will be there with me at every game!

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Hampshire, that's a lovely story.

Condolences to you and your family.

RIP.
