My heart goes out to the mother of Ben Needham who has today been told that her son almost certainly died on the day that he went missing 25 years ago. It is reported that he was accidentally run over by a digger driver who paniced and buried him. He confessed on his death bed. So sad that it's taken all these years for closure RIP little Ben.
Nice tribute http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/raf-...nce-frampton/story-29722875-detail/story.html Its just bugging me it says he lived in Carr Lane most of his life? Whereabouts??
Edward Albee, playwight, at age 88. Writer of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' - filmed with Richard Burton and Liz Taylor http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/17/a...f-a-desperate-generation-dies-at-88.html?_r=0
I think you are right, the fact that he was in a Hessle home and the funeral at Haltemprice crem, sort of leads you to think he lived in West side of Hull rather than central.
His son-in-law is a good mate of mine, lives West Hull, and I think his wife's folks are from same area.
Curtis Hanson, director of The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and L.A. Confidential (among others), has died at home in Hollywood aged 71.
Paul Kantner co-founder of Jefferson Airplane and Starship. Aged 74. Really liked the voice of Grace Slick. RIP.
Sorry. Just popped up on facebook and didn't look at the date. Still, I loved those bands in their various guises.
Arnold Palmer, golfer died. 87 years old. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/golf/2016/09/25/arnold-palmer-obituary/1881465/
Ian Chorlton - one or two on here may have known him, many will have benefited either directly or indirectly from his work. A consultant pathologist who worked in Hull for nearly 30 years and a nationally acclaimed expert on gynaecological cancers. Ian was a lifelong supporter of Middlesborough but always had a soft spot for City. He was a lovely bloke and a marvellous colleague. R.I.P. Chorly
Rip Arnold Palmer .. a true legend and icon .. if ever there was a man who changed the face of a sport it was him.
.True. Epithets like true great and legend are too easily banded about nowadays. But were totally apt in his case. As you wrote, he changed the face of his sport. I can still remember watching on a small black and white TV as a 9 and 10 year old with my dad, who liked golf unlike myself, and the excitement amongst commentators and spectators, who were always there in greater numbers around him, when Arnold Palmer strode into view.
