Hi Lads.. It is with sadness that I tell you that Burley Hurley passed away peacefully this morning, surrounded by his loving family after his battle against cancer. Mrs Burley would also like me to pass on a huge thank you for the support and flowers she has received. I personally am going to miss this man so much, getting to know him was like finding a long lost brother. Mrs Burley has his login details for here so if you want to send a private PM then do so, it will be appreciated. I am still taking all of this in so on behalf of Burley Hurley I will say a big thanks for many years of banter with a set of great lads. Stay safe all and thanks.. RIP you wonderful man..
Thanks for the update Joe. I did not see this coming as I thought he’d put cancer into remission and behind him. This is a real shock and a sad day. Never met him, but he came across as a totally sound and funny bloke. Best of wishes to his family. RIP Hurly.
RIP BH. Thank you for reporting Joe but totally devastated. Met up with him for a couple of games and had a good laugh and a few beers together.
I’m trying to find solace hearing that he passed away peacefully, it is the least the man deserved for being such a kind and caring man. He’s gone too soon, but he has left a big impression on all of us, a man who never shyed away from speaking his mind but always in a controlled and respectable manner. I didn’t have to meet him to realise just how much he meant to some of you and to his family and friends, although I wish I had met him. I’m not good with grief and saying the right things, to console people but Mrs Burley if and when you do get round to reading these posts, I am truly thankful to you for allowing him to spend endless nights talking rubbish with us on here. I hope you and your family find the strength to get through this difficult time. May your loving husband, and our friend Rest In Peace. My condolences to all of his family and friends, a wonderful person has left us and none of us will ever forget Blunham Mackem. Thank you for letting us know Joe X
RIP Burly, terrible news and all my thoughts with your loving family. he will be greatly missed on this forum.
