You may remember a couple of weeks ago on the West Brom Match Day thread I posted that I'd been in the local hospital all afternoon with aged mother and that it was a case of when and not if, well sadly the when was yesterday afternoon. She'd been in a deep sleep since Monday of last week and receiving palative care, in a way it was the best way to go as she simply went to sleep and never woke up....... She missed out on reaching her 101st birthday by just 12 days......

Although sad I'm ok with it all, she had a memorable life and lived far longer than anyone could imagine, being independent until 97 when a couple of falls took their toll, the last year wasn't great as she became more dependent on carers and was confined to a wheel chair, but when you get to that age you can't really expect to be in top notch health.......

We do things quickly here, and her cremation is tomorrow in Cork...... If you get a chance raise a glass around 3 o'clock.

Cheers all......

Sending my condolences Chris, I'll raise a glass at three pm (although it's far too early for me,) in this case I'll make an exception. What a great innings Mrs Tramore. May you rest in eternal peace <rose>

Robert Clary has died at the age of 96 on Nov.16.
I think most will remember him as the short of stature, but big of courage, the loveable French POW of Stalag 13, Louie.
Hogan's Heroes. He was the last surviving cast member.
Who on this board hasn't watched this comedy as children.
RIP "Corporal LeBeau".

Wilco Johnson has died. What a fighter. I saw him last year and could not believe the energy he put into every performance.
So very sad

After all he has been through I thought he was indestructible.

Seeing the Feelgoods live in 1976 changed the way I thought about music entirely, and indirectly how I thought about the world.

Great, great man, last saw him just before lockdown, still 100% maximum RnB.

I am reminded that it was actually May of this year I saw him. He was so full of energy, he could play like a teenager, and pranced across the stage like one too. I too thought he was indestructible too.

Perhaps none of us are
