So sorry to hear of your loss DD. Hope you and the family are as well as can be expected at a time like this.

Cancer is a £&@!

Sorry for your loss Dave. Condolences to yourself and all your family. My Dad passed away aged 89 on Dec 5th. He was a Claret through and through, hence why I am. I’ve included his details for the Memorium screen v Sunderland. Hope you do the same.

Tony Livesey has just ended his show on 5live with a nice little tribute to my dad.

[bpgburn]

Yep, my grandma and grandad. They eventually had the paper shop opposite the Crown in Colne, back when cans of pop were more expensive than cigarettes.
Grandad Frank was nuttier than a fruitcake, but eventually he moved to Fence and bought a bungalow that came with its own full size electric pylon in the garden.
Years later, after he'd died, we delivered a machine to next door, and I remarked to the owner that my grandad used to live to next door, to which she replied 'Frank? He never had any clothes on, did he?!' and it turns out he'd just been nudebathing under the basking glow of the electric pylon for years, in full view of the neighbours.

Condolences Dave. Even though was expected you can never really prepare for it...

I remember your Granddad Frank, I lived in a flat next to the Crown for around 4yr, he certainly was a character( in a good way)..

One Xmas eve my cooker electric hob packed in. It was late afternoon and I went to Euronics in Barrowford and the chap in there was just about to close but he let me in and took one off the display and sold it to me. He literally saved Christmas. I’m not sure if this was your Dad but condolences to your family.

[ClaretPete001]

Condolences Dave.... ! I wish you and yours all the best.

So sorry Dave. Oz was one in a million and a lovely guy. He let Sam and me play noisy inept punk in the shop on Belgrave street just after we left school, even though it must've upset the neighbours. He was always kind and funny when I stayed round at yours in those days. You won't remember , you were just a baby. All the best to you all, remember the good times.

[Vincent'sCap]

Going off some of the posts on here sounds like your Dad was a kind and helpful man
Condolences to you and your family.

Spoke to my Mum last night, she and my step father knew your Dad quite well from the shop on Belgrave Street and your place in Barrowford. Mum used to work part time for your Grandma Margaret in the paper shop and knew her and Frank well. I think they also bought a washing machine from you in the last couple of years. Just passing on their best wishes and condolences on the loss of your Dad.
