I sometimes have problems with the monster that we've become and I'd love it to be what it used to be, ( maybe only in my head,) and I'm sure many people who watched us in the 70's and 80's would have some agreement with that but when you read and hear things like this, I'm proud of the family that we now are. This club means so much to so many people. R.I.P. my friend.

Sad to hear that news and even sadder to read a kids letter like that to his passed father.

RIP fella and thanks for putting a word in.

Seeing some of the photos of him in his last days were very sad to see, and reading that letter was heartbreaking, it puts everything into perspective.

Oh boy. That's love, that's heartbreaking too. I have an 8 and a 6 year old here. Can't even think about what that family (and so many others in similar positions) have been through.
