Never thought I'd ever announce this in this way. In the old days we would be announcing a death in the HDM but that particular era ended a long time ago, so...My old fella, age 93 in HRI, week last Saturday. Good innings, so no real shock because it was expected and in some ways a relief for us all in the end. I used his name for a while when writing stuff for the fanzines, and it was a use of this name, Ken Clarkson ( I'm his son, work it out) that broke the news in the HDM of Martin Fish selling the clubs name plaque at Boothferry Park back in the day.
Took me to my first ever City game, v Everton FA Cup, January 3rd? 1964, North Stand terrace just behind the invalid cars's enclosure.
Did well for himself workwise, from a labourer at Hull Brewery to foreman electrician, plant supervisor and on his death certificate which I did yesterday, Optical and Visual technician. Never bought me a pint in a pub, father and son style in his life, and taught me from a very young age that you get nowt for nowt.
If you have a dad, make him a friend and hope he see's you as one too.

So sorry Tickton to hear this heartbreaking news, sincere condolences to you & your family.

A good innings lived, but as Ernie said a good age, and even though expected, is no barrier to feeling loss & grief. Sounds like you’ve got some great City irreplaceable memories to cherish. Take care of yourself.

RIP Ken <peacedove><rose>

Sympathise. Had an aunty die of it. Very well off which is of no use. Her daughter after looking after her and watching her go said she would top herself whilst she could if she got it. Maybe the right thing to do, or maybe not.
 
i referred to this in another thread. it's felt like a cosmic scale injustice all year, though i'm sure others will know of similar. amy, niece of a friend/ex of mine, mid-30s, cancer. i've known the whole family for about 25 years. treatments weren't working and it got into her brain. died in a hospice this morning leaving a husband and a 6-year old daughter. rip.

Tony Todd, who played the titular serial killer in the Candyman horror franchise, died in Los Angeles on Wednesday night aged 69.

He died of natural causes at home in Marina Del Rey, according to his representative Jeffrey Goldberg, who told TMZ he did not have a specific cause of death.

Over the course in four decades in show business, Todd lent his talents to multiple tentpoles, including the Transformers and Final Destination film series.

For you now and anyone dreading that day not being too far away, myself included, sympathies and best wishes Tickton.
