Thanks for letting us know on our board @Ron and @brb
Rocky/ Stokey was honestly one of the good guys on this forum, I personally got along really well with him as we shared an interest in upcoming talents in the football league and he’d often crack a lot of jokes to lighten up the mood on our board too. All round he was just someone whose comments you’d often enjoy reading. Absolutely gutted about this news.
If anyone here knows his family or friends personally please pass on my condolences x

Absolutely gutted. Really good guy. This is like losing a friend in "real" life even though I never met him and know nothing of his life. Deepest condolences to his family and anyone who knew him.
I knew him as Stokenchurch yid on the Spurs board , he was always up for a laugh , I had not heard of his illness and it's hit me hard , both our clubs have lost a nice guy RIP stokenchurch 
I will have a large rum and think of you tonight

Just posted on the Spurs board and want to add a few words here.
That is a great gesture to name a thread after him. It is so sad to lose someone we 'knew' via a forum.
Please tell his family that we all respected him and will miss him in our own virtual way.
R.I.P.

One of the good guys for sure - I only knew 'Rocky' via this forum we had a great deal in common and when I was ill a couple of years ago he sent me a couple of very supportive personal messages. We shared our love of Spurs and all things Weller we also had a 'rivalry' with our lower league teams and enjoyed some banter when Wycombe and The Gills played each other.
I send my condolences to anyone here who actually knew him and to his family
RIP Rocky you will be much missed here

I’ve been sent so many screenshots of the lovely comments in this forum about my dad many of you know as ‘Rocky’.
It’s brought tears to my eyes aswell as a great comfort to our family.
Literally so proud of our Dad.
I saw someone pop up a link to dads last post on here where he said he had cancer....dad must have thought a lot of you to tell you all .
I can say truthfully in the last few weeks with me and my two sisters caring for our dad he has asked several times for his phone and has managed to bring this site up (we saw) but not managed to post bless him. He did try so hard and now I understand why; you are all utterly amazingly kind and as a family we are so touched.
Dad was diagnosed with cancer and from diagnosis to death was 5 weeks and 1 day.
He was a legend, a very kind lovable man who we will miss dearly.
We managed to break dad free out of hospital (his wishes) and he spent 6 days at home with us but sadly he needed a bit more care so for the last 3 days of his life he spent at a local hospice called Florence Nightingale (especially nice as his late mum was called Florence).
It is such a lovely place, they went above and beyond for us all as a family; they even fed us as they knew we’d not been eating!! They relaxed Covid rules so we could be with hun.
Dad took his last breaths with family around him which we are so grateful for.
The Florence Nightingale Hospice we have since learned is run completely on donations!
We are now trying to raise some funds for them and have set up a fundraising page because they truly deserve it.
thank you all again for your kind words
Love the Pitt’s Family xx

Thank you Sarah. Lovely to hear from you, and thank you for the lovely photo. I actually met you when I was having a drink with Rocky and your mum at the Crown, Hazlemere. So very sad to be talking to you now in such different circumstances. As you must have gathered, Rocky will be sadly missed by so many people, most of whom he has never met. That speaks volumes for how friendly and likeable Rocky was. I am still finding it very difficult to take in. Will it be OK to send some flowers for the funeral; if so could you please let us know where to send them.I’ve been sent so many screenshots of the lovely comments in this forum about my dad many of you know as ‘Rocky’.

I am not sure if I am allowed to post my mobile on here (will it let me? Or can you private message me?) x
