RIP Billy, always liked reading his posts, he'll be missed very much indeed. Condolences to all of Billy's family and friends.
 
Shocking news.

RIP Billy.

When I mentioned on here that I was going to Euro 2012 in Ukraine with my bairn, Billy went out of his way to warn me about stuff he'd heard about violence & racism in the country to make sure my bairn was safe. A great lad.

Although Billy wasn't in the best of health - epilepsy and a brain haemorrhage had taken it's toll, along with the gut rot cider and the tabs - the news of his death was a complete shock, and cause is still to be determined

Circumstances meant that we didn't see as much of each other as we used to, but we were in touch daily via email - and yes, I know what a pair of dinosaurs that makes us.

This morning was the first time for years that I didn't have an email from him in my inbox.
The realisation that I never will again is just a bit much to take in atm

Losing a good friend is one of the hardest things to go through. Thoughts are with you Jerry and with Billy's family too.

I heard from you last night Jerry, it still hasn't sunk in fully, we were arranging for him to come over in September when the house in Germany is finished. been thinking about him all day at work,cant get over it, or out of my mind.He grew on me so much, I loved him like a brother, he will always be in my heart, would always defend him against the trolls who came on here just to pick on him, as he just spoke his mind, one of his strongest attributes, in fact some of the trolls have posted their sorrow on here, hope to **** they mean it from the heart. Rest in peace Marra

I'm really struggling with this. Actually fighting back tears as I'm on holiday at the moment but I can't work out why it's effecting me. He bullied me, often when I was at my least stable but can't help being gutted. Proper torn over this. We'd finally developed an understanding this year off the back of his care to his mum and now this. Is his mum going to be ok?

He never bullied me but I had a few run ins and we never met. But I’m the same. It’s someone I don’t know but I feel like I lost someone close. Seems totally irrational but I can’t explain it
