Thanks for the support guys! It's good to have caring people in your life. Friends are much better than (some) family...
The folk on this forum are a caring lot victor. I know, because they've been there for me on more than one occasion.
Sorry to hear your news....

Just read this, condolences to you and your family Victor, my Mum died one year ago today but I had a great relationship with her so can’t imagine what you’re going through. Sad world as you say.
Almost a year since I lost my Mum Cussie (august). But we were best friends for 68 years! Visiting Elland Road together many many times. That's why the old stadium is so special to me....

Great memories Swannie, football is the last thing my Mum would have gone to but my Dad bought me a Leeds mirror years ago, he supported Burnley though

Abdul ‘Duke’ Fakir the last surviving member of the Four Tops dies aged 88. Probably won’t be many on here who don’t know a few Four Tops tracks.

The Four Tops are up there as one of the greatest R&B acts of all time. RIP the Duke.

Got to see John Mayall perform at a little nightclub in Connecticut over 40 years ago. What a privilege.

Iconic voice of 1990s hit show Gladiators John Anderson has died aged 92.
He was also a very highly regarded athletics coach.
Rip.
