Baba O'Riley Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 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 yearsAfter 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 ???? Quote

Mounts Kipper Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 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. Quote
jules_darby Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 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 Quote

Naytch Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Awful news RIP to a true, passionate Wanderer. Quote
Casino Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 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 Quote
The Wanderer Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Awful news. RIP and thoughts with the family. Quote

Spider Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 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. Quote

Ghana White Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 I never really comment on RIP threads but I always thought he came across as a really decent bloke on here, he'll be missed on wways so god knows how much he'll be missed by his friends and family. RIP wanderer Quote
