RIP Glensider

[tmg513]

I am so sorry to have to write that my friend Kevin, AKA Glensider on this site, has passed away this morning. He had been retired for the past few years in the USA with his wife Donna and had been battling ill-health for some while now. He first came to my attention on this site through his excellent match reports and when his health problems first surfaced and he was unable to continue with these Jonathan Fear was kind enough to put us in touch with each other. We shared a love of cricket, music, life, and above all the Villa. We emailed a few times a week and Skyped but never actually met. We always intended to see the boys together but sadly now this is not to be. I'll miss him more than I can say.

Oh dear.

What a shame. Really sorry to hear this news.

I remember when I was first posting on here and someone said that a new poster shouldn't have an opinion (or words to that effect) and Glensider took him to task. Really appreciated that.

 

[The Fear]

Gutted. Proper Villa and proper fighter in life. He had no end of problems, we used to compare notes.

Strangely was only this week I was thinking I'd not touched base with him for a while.

RIP glensider.

A big loss. He had been absent from here for a while but I always respected his opinions. He knew his onions.

RIP Glensider

Strangely enough it was only last week that someone posted that Glensider hadnt been heard of for a while, and was he ok.
Loved his posts, very informative and well reasoned, always balanced.
RIP Glensider.

Plenty of good chats and certainly knew his stuff. Another Holteender In The Sky who will be missed.

RIP Kevin.

We didn't always see eye to eye and clashed a few times on here, but he was definitely Villa through and through.

HEITS

RIP Glensider. He was definitely a major factor in me becoming a frequent visitor to Vital. His match reports were excellent.
