This weeks RIP's........

[KeyserSoze]

If somebody is in touch with Bruce Rioja, could you mention this sad event as we more or less all joined the site together from the old B.B.C 606 Wanders site. He may already know, but if not...

I've messaged him Tango.

Such sad news. I only know him from this virtual world obviously, but he was nothing less than a gent. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Keyser, appreciated.

Sad confirmation from Worthy of what I feared. Dujon and I were contemporaries, he being just four months older than me. We actually had a long private email correspondence discussing various things of interest to us. Ironically, the last email I had from him was during the pandemic and he wanted to know if I had survived:

"G'day, Monty,
Just a welfare check, mate, I haven't seen a post from you recently on the site. Are you O.K.?
Regards,
John"

I did survive but sadly Dujon has left us. RIP my virtual friend, I shall miss you.

Condolences Monty.

Was told about this over the weekend.

R.I.P. Dujon

[Hoboh]

Oh lord. I've only just read this and got the shivers.
Had some good banter with Dujon in the past, seemed a really nice guy, RIP fella and condolences to family and those close to him.

Sad news about Francis Lee. I knew him quite well at one time. He was my next-door neighbour in Westhoughton and my kids went to school with his. I also worked for him for a time.I went to a few parties thrown by him and his wife,Jean and met Mike Thomas, Mike Summerbee, Dave Mackay and others there. Jean sadly also pased away from cancer some time ago. . Really sad news. God rest them and my prayers are for them both. R.I.P.

RIP Franny - I'm sure we'll get to pay homage to a local boy done good tonight

[TANGODANCER]

God rest Sir Bobby Charlton, regarded by everyone as a gentleman. R.I.P. God bless.

[Harry Genshaw]

Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing. Proper shocker that. Such a well watched show. He's someone who would have featured in most of our lives whatever your age.

[TANGODANCER]

God bless the souls of the four young teenagers who died in the Welsh disaster. How awful for their families and friends. There are no words...R.I.P..

[Hoboh]

Terry Venables, quite a character, RIP.

Terry Venables, quite a character, RIP.

Indeed. R.I.P.

[Worthy4England]

Aye. El Tel. RIP

[BWFC_Insane]

Gutted. A real character. Summer 1996 will always hold a special place for me. We were the best side in that tournament and should have won it. El Tel was ahead of his time.

[Worthy4England]

Farewell Shane MacGowan. Certainly "a character"

[TANGODANCER]

Farewell Shane MacGowan. Certainly "a character"

Aye, a strange one but 65 is no age to go. Self inflicted to a large extent I think, but still. I really liked his version of "She moved through the fair" R.I.P Shane.

[Hoboh]

Farewell Shane MacGowan. Certainly "a character"

Aye he was, definitely

RIP
