He was 62 years young. He was a massive bulldogs fanatic, and i am a massive raiders fanatic. We had lots of great times watching these games over the years and everytime the raiders lost he was there to cheer me up, and believe me the raiders have made me need a lot of cheering up since i started supporting them in 94. My best memory was about 18 years ago at the olympic stadium where we won 32-0. We had planned to go to this game even before dad became sick and we both would have loved this game.
Rest in peace big fella and well see each other soon

You are brave.

You also have an enormous extended family here, I don’t post much, but I will for this

You are loved, you are not alone.

I've felt empty all day and with 10 to go I was tempted to do something I never do and turn off the game. Needless to say I'm thankful I didn't.

Condolences to you lucky and thank you for sharing your story.
