NottsRam77 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 This is hard to write and despite popping on here last few weeks to post on derby related stuff Iv avoided doing this, but it’s something I need to do. Some of u will remember last sep/Oct I put out a plea for help with funding to help my dad get sirts to help him continue his brave fight against his bowel cancer. sadly he lost his brave fight against it and passed away Sunday the 16th of December. what I want to say on behalf of our family is an absolutely massive and unreserved thankyou to everyone that supported us, there were lots of u from here, kind words, messages of support, donations, everything. It was simply overwhelming and It all meant so much in our darkest hour. we laid him to rest in front of a packed church (he’d have loved the fact it was Sell out crowd) buried in his favourite title winning derby shirt and and rams scarf. as I said thankyou to all, we really can’t emphasise how much it lifted him seeing such kindness from his fellow rams a big thankyou too to Dave for letting me put the post up in he first place god bless u all.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just as a side note I can’t make tomorrow’s game and so our season tickets are going spare for the game 2 adult funnily there ain’t much of clamour amongst my red dog mates for spare derby tickets so as a gesture of a appreciation if anyone wants them for the game they’re there for u to have don’t want anything for them, I live south nottingham around Bingham / Radcliffe/ cotgrave. But I could drive over to West Bridgford If someone wants to borrow them for the game I honestly don’t mind doing that I’d rather see them used than go to waste message me if your interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Very sorry to hear of your loss, but very pleased for you that you will have one more good memory to add to the many I'm sure you have of your father. Best wishes to you and family. HantsRam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Sorry for your loss mate but for what it's worth, it sounds like your dad had a grand send off and I'm pleased that the DCFC family's support was helpful during a difficult time for you and yours. Sometimes we argue like kids on here (I'm as bad as anyone!) but then there are a lot of really thoughtful and kind folk who are so quick to rally round anyone having a hard time of things. I'm always proud to be a Derby fan but never more so than on those occasions where the genuine kindness of fellow Rams rings loud and clear.

angieram Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 So sorry to hear that @NottsRam77. It's good that you have so many strong memories as you come to terms with your loss and I am pleased we played a very small part in offering your dad some comfort at that time. I hope you can continue to enjoy the football as a memory and a reminder of the good times you spent together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great offer with the season tickets, but you don't have to physically give them the cards, if they have your customer number they can pop in the ticket office and get tickets printed off, costs a pound I think.
