Hopefully his sister will see the comments on here? I don't know how that could be made to happen? Just so she can see how highly he was thought of.
I used to met Scarb at the games when he attended the KCOM. He posted on my Facebook page just the other day. His fight gave me encouragement and hope and he was for me one of the few people who I felt understood. We both come from North Hull Estate and shared very similar backgrounds. I will miss you Graeme, I still think you nicked my red Harrington jacket off my Mam’s washing line, but even if you did I forgave you ages ago. I would like to contribute to any tribute we could arrange.
Haven’t contributed for a while, agree with sentiments expressed. RIP one of our own. Take care everyone
RIP Scarbs. When my wife (who sadly passed away in May this year) was first diagnosed with cancer several years ago I mentioned it in this forum and Scarbs who I had never met was very sympathetic and volunteered any advice which I was very grateful for.
RIP Filey/Scarbs. Never had the pleasure of meeting Graeme but I always read his thread. His positive outlook on every day of life was a shining example to everyone. Hope Lia is ok. RIP mate
Post by Scarbs 2017 "My life has never been so good as these last 9 years 4 months. Funny really but my life got better from the day I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma Even though the bastard keeps coming back and it's back a fourth time but no treatment as yet and I am on watch and wait . Had another CT Scan today.. I was lucky though because I had not got a wife or kids . Dead hard for those who have.. And so hard for young people. It's strange really because cancer wards and chemo units are full of laughter most of the time especially when people's family's have gone after visiting I think it's harder for partners and family's of patients to be honest I never have a bad day . Why worry is how I think because I might get run over by a bus tomorrow...Anyone might...Anything can happen at anytime to anyone Every one on here has been a help to me And new friends I have made Great Nurses and a great specialist...there more like friends I am part of the Mac unit at Scarborough . Having had something every month since 2008 though I did have 10 months off For me there has been 99 positives And one negative I hate needles ...and I mean hate Most patients I have met have loads of positives to draw on Cancer gets a lot of mentions and sometimes I think other HORRIBLE stuff gets forgot about which gets me mad . There's people on here WORSE off then me No names mentioned Just rabbiting on I know. Cancer is not all doom and gloom really . I am fine Stay fine everyone else Don't start pressing like Everyone is in the same boat as I say Enjoy each day....No one knows what's around the corner.. Even the most fit well and active people" I
So sad to hear the news about Filey. Always a positive attitude even when things weren't great. RIP mate. Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger.
I could post a link to this thread on his Facebook page? That’s where I saw Mary announce he had died
Today of all days, as supporters of Hull City, we need Filey's unlimited optimism to remind us what is important in life. Every Day's a Good Day really needs to become the board motto.
