Very sad to have to report that dad passed away peacefully at around 7-45 this evening.
Although I am absolutely heartbroken I am pleased that he is not suffering any longer.
Friends, once again can I thank you all so so so much for such lovely messages both on here and on Twitter of kindness and support. Myself, mum and my wife are truly touched and thank you all dearly.
I have received messages from several senior members of the Bees board which alongside the lovely flowers and wonderful card will always be treasured.
Dad loved Brentford FC, he first came here with my grandad when he was a small boy and no matter of the result always enjoyed the games. The last few seasons in particular brought so much joy and memories I will never forget .
Please excuse me for signing off now , so much more I'd like to say but the main thing was to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone once more
