    To anyone who remembers my dad, the guy who had problems with the club over his folding wheelchair, and was eventually ordered out of the ground. He passed away this morning at the ripe old age of 99

    Sorry for your loss mate, my condolences to you and your family, he will remain forever in your heart.

    I lost my dad in 2004 when he was 89. I was very close to him and still to this day think about what his advice would be to me when I hit difficulties.

    Hard mate. God bless him, and RIP. You don't "get over it" but you get used to it. Remember the best times if you can.

    RIP your Dad, Strength to you and your family.

    Helluva knock 99, still very difficult to take in when they do go.

    You will doubtless have some great memories of time spent with him to help you all through the tough days ahead.

    As others have said 99 is some innings sad that he went just before making his century.
