A message from Bigbopper

[RabbitJ]

I've been reflecting over this news and am still deeply saddened.

I spoke to bigbopper numerous times and one thing that always stuck with me was his chirpy personality.

This forum won't be the same again.

Thanks for everything Chris.

I hope I get to read your thoughts again somewhere in another life.

As saddened as we all are. Looking at those photos should give us all some semblance of joy and happiness.

Not only did he have his loving fellow supporters on this small section of the internet.

Posters who will miss him immensely.

Bigbopper had a loving family, he had children, grand children, and people who will never forget the man he was, and the man he forever will be.

Thank you for letting us see a part of his life that forums never usually manage to do.

The father, the grand father, the lover of South Sydney.

Bless your family and thank you for sharing that very solemn news.

Forever an immortal of the pride.

RIP.

We know that Winston wasn't the greatest Churchill, its good to know that the greatest BigBopper was an Aussie.

Sad to hear of The Big Boppers Passing and every time I hear J P Richardson sing Chantilly lace I will think of one of our greatest supporters.

Thank you all for the condolences and kind thoughts. Dad's funeral will be held on Wednesday (25th Oct) at 1:30pm. Further details are available here. The service will be livestreamed (and should also be recorded) - I don't yet have the link for the streaming but will come back and post it when it's available.

The passing of Bops is sad news for the Pride, all those who knew him and especially his family

The big fella always came across as a gentleman first and foremost. The loss of his considered, well articulated Posts and views will leave a void on here that will be hard to replace or replicate

To his family, losing a loved one is never easy. But I hope you all find some solace in the moments when you each recognise the traits, idiosyncrasies and mannerisms he left imprinted in each of you. It’s in those moments along with his legacy that you continue, that the great man remains immortalised

May he rest in peace

Thanks for making the livestream available. It was a lovely service and I enjoyed the many jokes and comments about your Dad's attitude to life. Every time I say "Take The Two" when watching a match, I will think of him.

What a wonderful celebration of a full life for Chris and what strength displayed by both Liz and Mary. Sorry to disappoint you but your presentation was faultless. Dad is mighty proud. Thank you for allowing us to share more insight into the legend that is bigbopper. May your shared memories keep you strong and allow your family to be able to prosper and go forward. His legacy will last for many years to come. Blessed be. George Deep

I just checked this thread to read the news that I had dreaded would come. Words fail except.... "Glory Glory my friend".
