All,
My apologies if I have put this in the wrong place, if I have can the admins kindly move it.
Westyorkshiregull is my brother Andrew / Andy to some and I wanted to make you aware why he won't be posting on here anymore or why you won't see him up North at games if and when the season starts up again.
Last week while at home he suffered a heart attack which very sadly he didn't survive. The medics were there within 5 mins but nothing they could do. His wife also tried to do CPR on him but to no avail. He was only 40 which is no age at all.
This has devastated our family especially my Dad who is also a lifelong fan, and both my daughter and I go along to matches at Plainmoor when we are down visiting from London and have also been to games near us and my Dad has travelled up for those.
My brother is due to be cremated on the 5th May in his Torquay shirt so if you could think of him on that day it would be greatly appreciated.
Ordinarily I would see if the club would do a short announcement as well but I don't want to bother them at the moment in light of COVID19 and there is no way of knowing when the season is going to start again anyway.
My brother loved the Gulls and interacting with people on here and at games and I hope he will be fondly remembered by all who met him and know him.
I'd like to thank all of you who did interact with him on here and at the games it meant a lot to him.
My very best wishes to you and your families.
Ben
Up Torquay!
