Lost my dad a few days back, RIP Ron! he supported City for over 75 years through thick and thin. Hull City was perhaps the strongest personal bond between me and my dad as I moved away from the area over 45 years ago to follow my career. That said I bought 3 Founders Club season tickets when we moved to The KC, and me, my son and dad came together every two weeks or so to watch the club which became a cornerstone of our relationship. We shared many good times, and some not so good both firstly at Boothferry Park and then The KC, and it was only fitting that the family adhered to his wishes to have his ashes scattered at The KCOM, which we did on Tuesday this week.

I imagined he would be effing and jeffing at the timing of his ashes been scattered given the current state of our club, but that just made the day a little more accepting knowing his love of our club hadn't diminished irrespective of where we currently find ourselves.

To anyone else who has lost a loved one recently, tell them to look out for a new member up there driving a Jag, his health wasn't the greatest of late, so the risk of crossing the road, particularly if you are wearing another football teams colours has risen significantly!

Charlie Crickmore's funeral is at Chanterlands Crematorium (large chapel) at 3:30pm on Wednesday 24th October

I've known him for years and would have been there, but I am working away unfortunately

Should be a good turnout though

Having lost both parents, grandparents, my only brother (no sisters) aunties, uncles and old school friends it is now a sobering thought that I am the eldest living male on my dad's side of the family. As a youngster it never occurred to me that this would happen, I was always the 'young un', on my mam's side I'm not sure who is still alive there. So to you all who have recently lost close family and friends, I pass on my condolences, you have possibly heard the 'time heals' comments, all I can say is that no matter how long time passes since your loss the intensity of the loss may lessen but the sadness in the heart never goes away.
