So very sad, swittle was always on hand with a kind word or comment on photos, I enjoyed reading about his late evening runs along the beach, I never had the good fortune to meet him in person, a great loss to this wonderful community heart

Such a true gentleman. I'm fairly local and will do all I can to attend his funeral.

I just... this is terrible news. I am so sorry.

He was my biggest cheerleader for the last eleven years - and lots of people cheered me on during some really tough times. After every setback or after every triumph he always fmails me.

A beautiful soul, and a true gentleman. I don't have any other words now.

Struggling to put this into words TBH, he's someone that I've chatted to virtually over a range of topics, and always came across as a genuinely lovely bloke. Hope the beach runs continue wherever you are now Switts

Terrible news. It was only a couple of weeks ago when he was posting on the rugby league thread about Wakefield's upcoming fixtures.

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
