RIP Steve. You’ll always be a Claret.

R.I.P. Steve,a great poster who will be sadly missed but will be welcomed up there by a gang of Clarets waiting to greet him with a chorus of NNN .......UTCC

Read the original post and it got to me somewhat. I couldn't imagine something like that dropping on me.

I was feeling a bit melancholy that day and it kinda put things in perspective for me, so thanks for that Steve.

Enjoy watching the clarets storming Europe from that big ol' Longside in the sky. Hopefully the Twix's are free!

UTC!

Cancer is a terrible way to go. I lost my maternal grandfather ten years before I was born from it. You waste away, and, although they have drugs for the pain these days, it can be excrutiating. It's something that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. The fact that he was diagnosed only 4 months ago means that it was a vigorous form, which would only make things worse. I've been to funerals where the officiating minister notes that "the pain is gone". I only truly wish that he suffered as little as possible.

R.I.P. Steve ----nothing to add.

So sad to hear this, always enjoyed chatting to ClaretCanada on the matchday threads.

R.I.P. Steve.

Sad news. Living so close I wish we could have met and watched a game on TV together, would've been fun to cheer on the team with a fellow claret in Vancouver. RIP.

Vancouver, where, exactly, do you live? I lived in New Westminster for a few months in 1986. I played for a rugby club that no longer exists (Pocomo). There are lots and lots of Ontario transplants out there. One was almost my brother-in-law.

I live on Bowen Island which is a 20 min ferry ride from West Vancouver

Steve Young..RIP.

[Croydon Claret]

Very sad

We can only take solace in his passing being peaceful

[Hopey]

Sad news - we've made a little post on the website in his memory from all at LHCC.

[Funkydrummer]

God rest your claret and blue soul Steve. The original post, back in February, really hit the spot and I didn't feel that I could reply and do it justice. Really wish I had done now.

RIP Steve, keep the Claret flag flying.

[ontario claret]

Vancouver. I've never heard of Bowen Island. Must be in the Sunshine Islands. Lots of "high" living going on there. Are you a former hippy?

[vancouverclaret]

Hi Ontario. We can chat on a different post if that's ok.
I look forward to it.
With respect to CC. May he RIP

[Maple Leafs]

Rest in peace my fellow Canadian, God bless.

The beauty of social media is at play here. We’re all here in a common cause, yet only a small amount of us have met in person. But what it does is allow us to move as a single body. Most of us don’t know ClaretCanada, but we know of him, and that’s important in our Claret family terms.

RIP fellow ex-pat Claret

I remember when he posted the thread about his bad news. One of the things he posted:

I feel no anger or pain at all just told 3/4 weeks
Thanks everyone for great time in here
GREAT SEASON
UTC

His final post on here was:

good morning all from the most beautiful snow covered city in the world
not feeling good so just going to read your comments
come on burnley at least give me a win or two

It certainly puts things into perspective.

RIP. One of the nicest posters on here and will be missed.

RIP. Very sad... and can't find any more words.
