Just took our dad for a transfusion but the exercise was too much for his cancer riddled body.

He died in front of me at the James Cook as they got him off the bed to weigh him and he just shut down.

I'm back at his home where me and my girlfriend moved in to care for him a couple of months back. It's a shame the Boro didn't manage the promotion in the end but he was resigned to going and I suppose it was really quick.

He started taking me to Ayresome as a 4 year old back in 1966, even for the reserves games and he'd often take me to Hutton Road to see them train. Beating the jawdees 2-4 at Sid James' in 78 was a highlight of the many away games we went to. His biggest sacrifice was giving me his ticket for the Millenium Stadium for the League Cup win when he nursed my dying mother back then. He always told me about how we were robbed in the 6th round of the FA Cup against Burnley back in 1947.

Who's going to bail me out now?

RIP Neil. You were a great man,
 
Mate my condolences to you and your family so sorry for your loss. I dread the day I lose my Dad I cant imagine how you must be feeling.
By the way you describe him another honorary member joining the Holgate in the sky :cry:
 
It is really hard losing a parent and no words can comfort you at this sad time.

Take care mate, allow yourself time to grieve and remember, we are all here for you.

So sorry to hear this C_L_C. Best wishes to yourself and your family at this difficult time.
 
Deepest sympathies to you all CLC. Sounds like your dad was a top fella and very well thought of. Hopefully in time the tears of sadness turn into tears of happiness at the millions of good memories you must have.
Another for the Holgate in the sky.
My old man will be waiting to welcome him in.
Keep the memories strong mate.
