jukel123 9,627 Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago My cousin Eddie's funeral is on Friday. He was the same age as me. He had a tough life and was on the wrong side of the prison gate a few times for thieving and other silly things, but a true friend , and a devoted, gentle family man He was a big union man,hated the tories and was on strike for long periods, but provided for his family one way or another We got into a lot of hilarious scrapes together as kids. We both had a passion for fishing, animals, football and boxing. We attended Old Trafford religiously as kids, but when they caged us in like animals we stopped going . Then came Hillsborough, so we were right. As the club became more of a global brand we still maintained an interest but felt somehow betrayed. He was a pro boxer for a while, his daughter is passing on his boxing memorabilia and the mentions he got in boxing magazines to me. He had colon cancer at one point and went down to 9 stone. But he recovered .He then got kidney cancer and was on dialysis. When his wife died he refused any more treatment because he just wanted to be with his wife. Proper old fashioned, heroic working class man. We' ll give him a good send off. 9 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
