RIP also dear old Wally. Brown bread on Thursday,I think. Liked by all,not one enemy. A lovely seventy-something Irish auld gentleman and White Horse regular. Always had a twinkle in his eye. He was there most days and Steve Murphy's right-hand man. And most of all a devoted QPR man.

Let's face it I'm not getting any thinner.
Pass the cake and pies please.
There are never words that can really comfort your lose it's personal to you in a way no one else can feel even having lost a mother or father or sibbling themselves.
All I or anyone can do is offer condolences and hope your memories always make you smile .
So sorry for your loss.These are the worst of times but although life is never the same you do get to a point where you can smile when you think of him , especially when you hear yourself saying things he would have said . Look after yourself and your family over the next few days ..
God bless you mate - nothing can prepare you for the death of someone so close. So good to hear that he was your best friend though Connell - so many people have poor relationships with their parents, it's a blessing that yours was so good. RIP your dad.
Sorry for your loss. Although it'll take time, try to take the positive perspective of how lucky you were to have had him in your life rather than focus on what you've lost, after all he'd want you to be happy in life and nothing would break his heart more than seeing you suffer every time you think of him, but if thinking of him put a smile on your face he'd be a happy man indeed.
Thank you all for your kind words!! I truly appreciate them.
My Dad died 30 years ago @53 his lifestyle saw to that and for that reason, we were not close. But when he died it was devastating, still, my dad even if he was a bugger, so do take comfort as others have said that you were close.
For now, the pain will be overwhelming I'm sure, look after yourself as your dad would want that.

I'm so sorry, I know how painful that is. If my experience is any guide, once the initial shock wears off, you will enter an unpredictable period. At some times you will feel guilty and frustrated that you feel his memory is fading and that you are getting over it too easily, then you will be suddenly taken over by the grief and unfairness of it, when you least expect it, even decades later. You have to kind to yourself, and try to think of him with affection rather than pain. Good luck with it, and take what chances you have to talk and let your feelings out.
Thanks Si , I might see you at the game on Tuesday I’ll see how I feel on the day mate.
Football is totally meaningless in comparison mate. Unless you feel the need to vent your emotions at the next hapless official, stay with the people who need you.
You never really get over it because you lose a little bit of yourself I think, but as time passes the hurt is replaced by the lovely memories.
I always give him a special thought just before kick off at LR as he was such a great fan and lived round the corner from the ground until he married my Mum.
So sorry to hear your sad news. My father passed away in 1996 (it was he who got me into Rangers-saw them pre-war) and I still think about him every day. The pain will eventually get less but you will still have those memories to cherish and that is something which will comfort you in the future. Be strong. RIP.
