Re: MY Dad Roy alas passing away !
I feel your pain, as I lost my dad a couple of months ago. He was also an East Ham boy. It's tough, but you have to hang on to the good memories to see you through it. Hopefully your dad will be able to pass peacefully.

Re: MY Dad Roy alas passing away !
Godbless you and your old man Steve.
We lost my grandad last year - he’d been going to WHU games since 1946. At the funeral, my Dad had been asked to make a speech, and decided instead, literally at the last moment and unannounced, to get up, stick his C&B scarf on, and sing “bubbles” - he broke down at “fortunes always hiding” and my brother & I had to get up and help him finish it.
Honestly had taken it for granted for a few years how deep and important to our families this club is until that moment.
Never ever about the results. Enjoy and cherish the fact you’ve come from the best mate.

Whether our feet are on the ground, or our spirit in the sky, we're always West Ham and that will never die.
Thoughts are with you and your old man at this tough time. Grief can cause rifts in families at times like this, ultimately even if opinions differ your old mans best interests are at people's hearts. Try to keep solidarity in the family as I am sure that's what he'd want more than anything.
