RIP Shaky

RIP Shaky

He pm'd me saying you were a good lad for one who liked drugs! At the time I told him that out of all the posters I fell out with I never regretted one word, apart from yourself. I think opinions and banter went to far, from myself. I tried to prove a point at the time and failed miserably.

I feel like I have lost my news section mentor, it's simply surreal.

Mornings wont be the same now.
When I get to work at 7ish the opinionated sod would have already been on for a hour so there was usually a bit to read while I had my morning coffee.
I will genuinely miss reading his posts.
 
I didnt know the lad, but from his posts on here it was clear he was a loving husband and father. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
RIP Shaky

A nice idea, like it a lot.

It seems there are a few suggestions/requests for some sort of memorial/tribute to Shaky, it's being discussed currently but hopefully we should have a formal thread for the PNE-Online community to suggest suitable tributes then we'll hold a vote more than likely. Feel free to post any more suitable suggestions on here but we will set up a dedicated thread in due course
 
So sad to hear this, I met David a few times. He was a great bloke in real life and will be sadly missed.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

R.I.P Shaky

Just logged on and read this after receiving a text from Billymac. I can't believe it.

My thoughts are with his family - I classed him as a friend, but I know that there's a lot of people on here who were closer friends to him than I was. My thoughts are with them also.

RIP Shakes. x

Like many have said on here even though I never knew Shaky I felt as though I knew him. He loved his hounds didn't he? He only posted on here a few days ago.

What a damned shame you never saw the Promised Land delivered. Now puts everything into perspective. Who gives a damn who we appoint. One of our brothers has fallen.

RIP fellow North Ender.

Aye and he was only online yesterday afternoon too.

When first reading the thread title thought it was going to be another 'banter thread', jaw dropped when I read the contents. Absolutely gob smacked.

An immense member of the PNE community and one that will subsequently be dearly missed. Didnt know him personally and didn't agree with everything Shaky posted but obviously a good guy whos heart was in the right place. The suggestion of renaming the Lizard Lounge to 'Shakys Lounge' is a superb idea and one that I think would make Shaky quite proud.

This place will not the be same without its number one contributor. Thoughts and prayers are with his family. Your going to be missed fella. x
 
As several people have already said, they feel a great sadness at what has happened, even though they didn't have the pleasure of ever meeting Shaky. Now we all know he was possibly one of the most infuriating, annoying and stubborn posters to ever grace this forum, but he also had the ability to actually make me 'lol' whilst reading this forum at work, sometimes reducing me to tears of laughter. He made me laugh over many things, often the thought of him furiously typing away the day after Howard Webb had awarded United another penalty, or venting his spleen after seeing some immigrant claiming £50,000 a year in benefits, whatever the topic Shaky had a view on it.

Like I posted earlier, I had a wry smile on my face when Kompany was sent off and when Rooney made it 3 nil because I can imagine his face and anger at the referee and Ferguson, but sadly I will now never get to hear his views on it.

But there is one post that I still talk about with mates which had me in stitches, and for me sums him up,

Once again, RIP fella.
 
very sad indeed. i met shaky in his local in ulverston, completey a different fellow to what i imagined him to be. quite the opposite person to what people thought about him on here. Knew all things PNE and a top bloke to be around. My thoughts too are with his family and friends. RIP. Hope i;ve done no typos writing this, he would have been right on my case!

He thought a lot of your Uncle Alan from when he worked at Goss...told me about him when I was discussing my brother working there too.
 
Gutted to hear this. Like others I never knew him personally but always enjoyed reading his put downs, however harsh!

Understandably he will be sorely missed by friends and family, and I think the sincere and heartfelt replies on here from people who never knew him demonstrate what a top bloke he obviously was.

RIP Shaky
 
Totally stunned finding this out tonight, glad i met you Dave if only a couple of times, a good man and will be missed, God bless you and condolences to all the family... RIP.

Flag over the Alan Kelly Townend this Saturday with Shakys name? 🙂

Would be a fitting tribute.

He always went on the kop. How about a mass pneonline exodus to the kop for this saturday in tribute to shaky, lets make it rock for him.
 
RIP Shaky. Didn't know you personally but you made me laugh a lot on here and your contributions will be greatly missed. I'm very shocked and saddened by this and my condolences go to your family. A real shame.
