RIP Shaky

RIP Shaky

Taken a bit of time to sink in today I'm afraid.

Dave was a man of the people, a strong union man fighting for fellow workers rights in fact always fighting for the little man. He often appeared loud and abrasive but he was just defending his corner as we all would. Christ I fell out with him some times when I first met him although slowly but surely I got to know him better and realised that what he stood for in life is what I stand for as well. We often swapped rumours about work and tips on horses and dogs but his tips always seemed to run like pigs and mine ran like pigs without legs.

He loved his family, loved Ulverston and loved the Lakes...they were his little Jerusalem.

Rest in peace Dave and I`ll lay 6/4 you are shouting the odds up there already....and had a walk upon Englands mountains green.

This is for you son.....

I can just imagine him now...

"They've arranged for a picture of me to be shown on the big screen on Saturday and all my mates have arranged to meet up on the Kop where they can't see it? Clueless Fuckers!!!"

Thanks for that Des. Cheered me right up.
 
Only just seen this really sad news.

Didn't know Shaky but read his posts from the old forum going back years.

Will be sadly missed!

RIP Shaky

Oh so true. If it wasn't for shaky, we would've had to move house and struggle for money.

The story behind that brick is another testament to the man that Shaky was - I recall it was given as a gift as a mark of respect/thanks from people he represented during some difficult times.

I think Shabbagaz had a hand in providing it if memory serves me correctly.......

Correct, and we have a hell of a lot to thank Shaky for. I know I'm repeating myself, but we'll be eternally grateful for what he did.


On the subject of pictures, does anyone have that one where Shaky met up with yoga and did a 'punching' stance? That made me laugh out loud!
 
Just got in and read an e-mail off Steve Bell and then checked the forum.
I'm in a state of bewilderment and shock.
My initial thoughts are with Jacqui and Becky.
Dave and I were mates when I lived in Ulverston,we followed North End all over England,had a few scary moments but we always got back home.
It's difficult to know what to say but I'll add to the 'memoirs' later.
RIP David James Howson....they broke the mould when they made you mi'lad
