2 Years - RIP Hovis

[JamesMio]

Remember stumbling back to the bunkhouse in Aviemore after a few refreshing glasses with the Ecosse boys and checking the 'Org on my phone to see this. Never met the lad but he made me laugh a few times on here - and it was his advice via PM that steered me towards the model of Blade that I eventually bought.

Quick 2 years, that's for sure.

Sad day for sure
Thought with his mum
Drink in his memory

Always think of him in the shop , yea over the bread but also when I see fosters lager ... Remember his feelings on fosters ?

And when we see a rainbow

Big hearted funny argumentative sod he was .

I have a pic of him at porlock on his bike in my shed over my bike ... Have had for the whole 2 years now .. Always have a chat to him in there .

Sleep well breadman

Lots of love

Dave and Mandy

Yep he sure was, had a HUGE bust up with him over the Essex AR and some of his comments on it, yet it was at that event that I got to "understand" him a bit better ( lot like you Quiffy, but 2 years earlier )

Had hoped to get to know him better with that understanding, unfortunately timing meant it wasn't to be.

Thanks again for the PM breaking the news to me 2 years ago Quiffy, due to a busy weekend I had missed the news on the .org proper.

Quiff, thats a lovely thought running in my head right now.
Every time I get off the bus, it drops me outside the pub we spent his last xmas with the Pennine massive, I have memories of table dancing Hovis. Not sure which was more wobbly, him or the table, must have been the Fosters!

Must admit, many many good memories of Hovis.....here are a few of my highlights;

- AR08, many moments; rocking horse fall, "Hovis rocks out", his tailpack on the Sunday.

- The day Lily passed her test, he met her for a ride whilst I was at work, she dropped her bike - Hovis was petrified as thought I would blame him and kill him.....wound him up something cronic with that one.

- My stag do, he laid on his back in the middle of the dance floor and shouted, "Spin me by my feet, I can't break dance for real". Plus he fell asleep with his face drooling on the stage of a podium dancer in a Gentlemans Club.

- The day he called to say he was leaving the house to come to ours, he arrived from home to ours in 35 minutes!!!! Took off his helmet, had a massive grin on his face and bellowed for a Carling.

- The first time that Hovis, Gid, Girth and Wideboy all stayed at our house in Worcester......at 1am, Hovis was sat drinking Carling singing his favourite Madonna tunes. Priceless it was.

- After Lonewolf had his off with me and Hovis when we were going to Ed's rideout - we were all in the hospital taking it in turn to see Mark. All of a sudden, a copper shouted "Oi Hovis" - the colour drained completely out of him - until he realised (after a long period of worry) that it was JumJum who is a local copper in that area. His face was a picture.

There are many many more, but he used to always have a cheeky grin on him, would always moan about something, but we always knew he would do anything in the world for Lily and I and all those from the Org that were close to him.

He came accross on the Org in a very different manner than in person and rubbed many people up completely the wrong way. But, I think the Org lost a true character that day.

On a personal note.....he was probably Lily's best friend in the whole world......and boy do we both miss him like mad.

For anyone who met his Mum etc, she is still touched to this day by the tribute of the funeral and those who came and the flowers that sometimes pop up on his and his Dad's grave. Joyce is unfortunately up and down frequently, she had a period when she did well and travelled, but when I last spoke to the family she was struggling with her diabetes etc.

Anyways.....enough from me.

Drew (and Lily of course). X

aye mate riding in the beacon's or slacking off on the Org is just a little bit quieter with out him

[Quiff Wichard]

For me , his cheeky grin was not about enjoying what he was doing now ... it was for the next thing he had planned that only he knew about..

He was dealt a bad hand in life but he sure turned it into a Royal Flush in the short time he was at the table..

I've still not seen the human skittles but heard about them.
Met him once (where i got told I'll get Fat) so not many actual memories but got shed loads written for which I'm thankful.
Always up to something and planning the next he was

However to see the silver lining -the friendships that have been formed from that day. I know that he'll be smiling and taking the credit for me, lily and drew finally hooking up.
and SK for the unspoken support on the day.
Diz, PEg and Phil for making a stay in a travelodge unforgettable and keeping me going all the way from Sandbach.
