[dizzyblonde]

An emotional day for all yesterday. For all those who aren't on Facebook, this link should still work.

NB, if this link doesn't work, I shall upload to YouTube, but I'm trying to avoid that.

It works, even a non facebooker like me can see it. Nice tribute, well done

[dizzyblonde]

Thanks for that Tim!


There are one or two that attended the funeral that aren't on my Facebook friend list(or even facebook), so thought this the best place to share this with them along with the rest of us that knew Mac :)

[startrek.steve]

Only met him twice, seemed a lovely man..

[Richie]

Met the man twice also myself.
This is the first I heard of this sad sad news too. :(

R.I.P Mac...

R.I.P friend.

I have just seen this on facebook. So sad to hear of his passing.

I hope he managed to write down his life story, he was telling me about it at AR10 and he desperately wanted to do it, so I really hope he did.

A bit shocked and sending thoughts to all who knew and loved him.

RIP old friend. :(

Grunty, we could fill a book with the antics of Dicky Ticker.....and those are just the memories of the last 10 years of the man we knew :)

I couldn't find mine of AR10, if i do I'l let you know.

Linky no worky or photo not displaying

[Richie]

[dizzyblonde]

Working fine now.

Petes hair has just stood on end(what little he has) that's a little too spooky, considering Mac had a copper SV

[maviczap]

Indeed Lou. A lovely chap through and through :)

[DJFridge]

That's a lovely vid. I shared a bit of banter on here with DT but never met him. Looks like he had a great attitude to life and I'm sure all those who knew him will sorely miss him.

RIP matey

[Scoobs]

RIP Mac.

[flymo]

Farewell, RIP

[Littlepeahead]

The funeral was a reflection of just what a popular man he was with people from all different parts of his life, of which the SV group was just a small section of the many attending. It was so sad when they read out a letter from his grandchildren who were not there, they especially have lost someone very special. That's a wonderful tribute Lou. Thanks for putting it together.

[The Idle Biker]

Nice Tribute, for a top bloke.

[anna]

Lovely Tribute! Thanks Lou.

Also good to hear that he had a full send off.

[keith_d]

I didn't realise he had died. Will people stop doing this while I'm on holiday.

RIP mate,

Keith.
