Excellent any very emotional post, think something just flew in my eye.
Never got to meet lappy, but he had me in stitches on here loads of times, to say he was quick witted doesn't do him justice. He is a huge miss on this messageboard, people like lappy don't come round too often.
Found myself thinking about him quite abit when his posts stopped, was just hoping he was well enough to see us win a few games. It all seemed to happen so fast, but the manner in which he accepted his illness was inspiring and admirable. It is good to know that the generosity shown on here brought comfort to you and those close to sean, it kind of restores your faith in human spirit when so much shite is going on around us. And dont get lappy started on what is going on in the world! :-D
RIP Lappy, keep the red flag flying high.

Those pesky flies, one just flew into my eye too.
During his stay in St Oswald’s, he still managed to listen to Sunderland, on the radio, and during one match, even though he appeared to be asleep, when his beloved team scored two goals he raised his arm, and did his best to punch the air.
Lisa, sorry I missed you at the wake. I didnt have too long to stay as I had some work commitments to attend to but it was nice to meet Susan and George.From myself and on behalf of Sean's family I would like to say a truly heartfelt thanks for all your posts and donations following the death of my brother Sean. I am Sean's youngest sister and was sorry to miss 'my boy Harry' at the wake following the funeral but can I just take a moment to to thank you for coming. It meant so much to us all and our mam for you to come - especially after reading what such adversery's you were - but take it as a compliment that sean would argue with you for so long - obviously a worthy opponent.
Sean was a true SAFC fan and had followed the team since childhood, he took his first scarf with him last week which he had had since he was 5yrs old. He was, as you may have gathered, opinionated(!), headstrong and no-nonsense and as you rightly pointed out didnt-do flowers. However he was sentimental, and if he could see the words and donations on his behalf he would be truly thankful and touched, as well as having a few choice replies at the ready! I will miss Sean dearly, as will the rest of his family and his mates, many of whom have been with him since childhood.
It has actually been comforting to see how many hits his piece on this website has had, and the donations to the macmillan fund from all of you has just blown us away, we really cant thank you all enough. What a fantastic internet community this is.
On his fifth birthday his mam bought him a Sunderland scarf, and it was his pride and joy, old it may have been, faded and full of holes, but loved and cherished it certainly was, and today Sean takes it with him as he makes his final journey.

Got a big lump in my throat reading the transcript of Lappy's funeral service posted by MBH.
Someone must be peeling invisible onions nearby as my eyes suddenly started watering, particularly when reading the part I've highlighted.
Thanks for the post MBH, you've excelled again marra.
