Lappy's Funeral

My Boy Harry · 6th October 2006, 11:53 AM

Couldnt make Lappy's funeral this morning as I had a couple of meetings but popped into The Moulders Arms on my way back home which is where the Wake was.

Got to meet Lappy's best mate George and also one of his sisters Susan (he was one of 6 kids).

His sister was moved to tears when I told her of the £700 or so that had been collected for Macmillan Nurses through our members on here. Neither Susan or George could believe the generosity of RTG.

I also got prermission to contact SAFC and ask for something to be placed in the programme.

There was a funeral card produced for his death with a picture of Sean on the front. On the reverse were the words of a song he wrote. Not sure if its seemly to post the images or not. I guess if a page is set up for members who have died that may be a fitting tribute.

When I told George about the Board one of his comments was "i bet you all got into some arguments with him". I just smiled.

Can i just say MBH that it was good of you to take time out of your day to go and have a drink to Lappy ( especially when you consider the percieved animosity between you two).

I'm sure he will be having a laugh at all the fuss!

That's nice to hear MBH. Fair play.

Nice one MBH, cheers for that.

Regardless of whatever arguments take place on here, the SMB really is a community in itself and it is times like this that reminds us of that.

Thanks, Paul. I phoned George on Wednesday and told him of the collection. He told me about The Moulders, but it was impossible for me to attend as I have no means of transport.
