Just wanted to let you know that Grandpops sadly passed away on Sunday in his sleep, he was 72 and will be greatly missed although I’m sure he will have already started a band up there

I'm relatively new on here so not sure if I'd interacted with Grandpops but sorry to hear of his departure.

I was just thinking about him yesterday.. My mother in law is in the Houghton rehab centre where I went to visit him.. He was a smashing bloke who I loved to listen too.

Gutted to hear the news mate, he will be certainly strumming a few chords up there. One of the best ever to be a part of the Sunderland board, naturally funny but a man with a good heart. I'll miss him for sure and my condolences to you all, may pops rest in peace, he will be missed.. <peacedove>

Thoughts and love are with you bro..

Post mortem is on Friday as it is classed as a sudden death, I’ll let you know the funeral arrangements once I can get it all sorted mate

hope your mother in law is ok aswell
