DazBob Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) One of the lads who makes up part of what is affectionately known as "Tomski's lot" tragically passed away this week. Karl was only 30 years old and anyone who knew him would know what a top lad he was. Feels extremely hard to now refer to him in the past tense. Anyway, a Justgiving page has been set up to help his wife, Naomi, towards funeral costs, so if anyone who knew him, or even if they didn't, and wants to chuck in few quid I'm sure it'll be a Godsend for her. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ellisse-bretherton?utm_term=AWx2AWwVN Edited February 12, 2021 by DazBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 12, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted February 12, 2021 I didn’t know him other than as part of Tomski’s, DazBob’s and BiE’s group and the occasional bits of sporadic banter brought about by knowing one or two of the group.

DazBob Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Oh, I dunno, honestly. Not my place to suggest it gets out out to a wider audience. To me, he was just Karl, my mate from football. 😪 Appreciate the kind and good intentioned thoughts, fellas. The Justgiving page has raised loads, so that's amazing. If it was up to me I'd just stick with it as it is atm. Edited February 12, 2021 by DazBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
