Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Such a shock - i never met Steve in real life but he and I joked about having been born in the same week as each other on a music thread comparing notes on what was number 1 on the day you were born…

This is the song we share, and like everyone else I’ve been really affected by his death (and even more that he died alone - i hope it was swift and painless)

I know this may have been mentioned and not sure how we would do it but might we be able to add an obituary notice in the local paper for him?

That would be a really nice thing to do and I’m happy to contribute to the cost.

I've asked Sefton council for a quote for either a bench or a bench plaque overlooking Crosby Beach. I don't know if they have such benches, but I thought I'd get the info.

I'm ok thank you. I've probably said this in a few places and to several different people, but seeing the nice stories and memories that people had of swittle has been lovely.

Can’t stop thinking about him today

About This Thread

Maintained by LipGloss
Never met him in person but always came across as a lovely man.

If you read about his nightly beach runs you could almost have been running along beside him.

He always encouraged others especially on the How was your run thread.

Hope all your beach run are still as perfect as they were while you were here xx

Funeral 5th April 1.30pm at the Thornton Garden of Rest, Lydiate Ln, Thornton, Liverpool L23 1TP
