Simple Match Fishing Forum

Most of you will be aware after Saturdays match that Martin had recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour. John rang me this morning to tell me that he passed away last night.

RIP Martin - the poor man has really been through it all in the last few years.
Sincere condolences to his wife and family.

Condolences to all concerned

Bad news indeed condolences to the family

So sorry to hear this news - certainly puts everything into perspective. My sincere thoughts go to his family and loved ones.

Just logged in and seen this very sad news.

I understand that Martins funeral will be on Friday 21st April. Unfortunately I wont be able to attend as Im away but I have arranged with John for him to organise some flowers from the club.

Some members have already offered donations, so I will arrange a small collection at the Claygate match for anyone who wishes to contribute with the proceeds given to a charity of the families choice. Should anyone not going to the match wish to donate then please contact me and I will sort it out and collect at a later date.

Martin's will be cremated at pitsea crem, Basildon at 4,40pm on Friday the 21st April
If you want to make donations please sent to Macmillion
flowers to be sent to T. Cribbs & Sons undertakers in pitsea address The Broadway, 3 High road ,Basildon SS13 3AR

Sue (Martins wife) has thanks you for all your kind comments
