slug Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) I met Gaz through this site and it turned out we both worked together in London. I know a few people who he used to work with directly and his old team are absolutely devasated at the news of his sudden death. He was really well thought of with his Bolton sense of humour and always had a cheeky smile on his face. I could tell you a few stories about the times I've worked with him directly, but some wouldn't be suitable for a public forum! Oddly enough I sent him an email at work the other week as I'd lost his number and we hadn't spoken for a while. Genuinely nice lad and will be missed by everyone that knew him. Abosolutely gutted he has gone and I will be raising a pint at Millwall in his memory. Thoughts are with his family at this truly shitty time. I hope his little one grows up and makes their dad proud. RIP Gaz Squidgy Edited July 14, 2017 by slug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler, he took a classic selfie with Vernon Kay when we were at Fulham a few years back. He had it on his facebook before he went secret squirrel.

Tyler Durden Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Thanks so much everyone for your kind words, it's a huge comfort to know he was well thought of. It's a way off but Reading away in March is the big one now for me and the family given he's lived in Reading for 5-6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had it on his facebook before he went secret squirrel. Was that the midweek 3-0 defeat? We jibbed into the seats for the 2nd half and sat in the row in front of Vernon and his missus.

The following is taken from a page at work for those wishing to give a few bob in his memory (awaits payday for me...)

HazzyinBolton Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Didn't know Gaz but I'm sure our paths will have crossed somewhere over the years. No age. RIP fellow Wanderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result he knew Keegan Hirst (RL player) so must have been the only man to be seen jogging in Berkshire wearing a Batley Bulldogs shirt.

Mounts Kipper Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Gut wrenching that he's lost his life in his very prime, did not know him personally but my most sincere of best wishes go to his wider family and friends but in particular his wife and young daughter. ????

slug Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Beautiful send off. The local cricket team were holding his Silchester Whites flag up on the local green as we all went past. Jimmy did him proud with his speech as did his wife, Amy. The entourage from the boys and girls from work was heart warming. Only standing place in the church, it was crammed to the door. RIP Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maje Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 My own little brother is on that very picture and he has the picture at home himself. Which is your brother? As I know nearly everyone on that photo and now I'm wondering if I know you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
