Sorry to announce that we have lost one of our posters today, following a long fight against illness. He remained a Wanderer through to the end. Most of you will have known him by sight, he was quite an imposing figure on the Burnden Terrace in the day, but not sure many really knew much about him and his life outside watching the Whites. I was proud to have known him, and will miss his cutting and incisive wit. Words below from his niece on Facebook.

It is with much sadness , that I must announce , the passing of the most loving caring uncle anyone could have . He wasn't just my uncle B , he was everyone's uncle B ,I'm sure you have all seen our selfies over the years
After 22 months of bravery , strength , and fulfilling life to the full ,
Bernard Slater passed away peacefully in the early hours ,in Bolton, a life long Wanderers supporter ⚽️
I am truly broken , Empty just isn't the word ,RIP uncle B . Funeral announcement in due course ????

Didn't know Bernard that well but know our older London lot do

 

Noticed tother day he hadn't logged on here for two months and feared the worst

 

RIP Bernard

 

Rest in peace fellow white.

 

Always came across as a decent guy.

 

Very sad news. RIP xx

I never met Rembrandt but he seemed a great bloke from his posts off here I recently sent him a PM via this website enquiring how he was sadly he never replied. Genuinely gutted never to have met him. Please post details of his funeral and if I can I'll pay my respects. RIP fellow Wanderer.

I didn't know Rembrandt but I recognise the face

 

A loyal white and one of our own makes this very sad nonetheless.

 

RIP fella

Very sad.

 

I liked him a lot on here.

Awful news RIP to a true, passionate Wanderer.

I know he'd been told he hadn't long left soon after Lennon arrived

 

I met his niece soon after and even though she lives down south, Hampshire maybe, she's also Bolton daft

 

She did Norwich away on a Friday night live on Sky

 

So Rembrandt obviously trained her well

Sorry to hear it. RIP.

Awful news. RIP and thoughts with the family.

I didn't know him other than off here - Very sorry to hear condolences to his family and RIP

Rip fellow Wanderer.

R.I.P fellow white.

RIP to a fellow wanderer

 

Thoughts are with his family

Well that's awful news.

 

Didn't know him personally, but it does feel on here that you know most posters really well. Rembrandt has been a familiar part of the WWays collective for as long as I've been on here.

 

RIP to one of our own.
