Default Al Reid (Speedy_Gonzalez) 1978 - 2008

Guys,

Its with great sadness that I pass on this news.

Al passed away at 2346 on 15 March 2008.

It was a very sudden turn and he was in no pain.

Rest in peace.

Thank-you

Anna

Can someone please make this a sticky and delete the old thread?

I used to chat to the gentleman in question alot via msn. We were due to meet at a Blackpool bash and we were both looking forward to that. I had to cancel due to unforseen circumstances and logging on today and seeing this post I now know that it was an opportunity missed to meet him personally and I am devestated that I didn't go.

I'm extremely sad to hear of his passing and my love and thoughts are with his loved ones.

Sorry I missed you mate

RIP

Oh no! I had to do a double take when saw this thread title, I really thought he was going to pull through

Will certainly be missed from here and in the lives of his family and loved ones

RIP
