My dad 22:25 - Apr 8 with 9013 viewsbosh67

My dad, Paul passed away this morning at Watford General Hospital from cancer and Coved19. I hadn't been able to see him for 3 weeks because the hospital couldn't allow visitors, which I totally understand. He managed to hold on long enough to wish me happy birthday on the phone yesterday, for which I will always be truly grateful.

My dad took me to my first QPR game when I was 5 and we sat side by side at QPR through the bad times, the even worse times, the just plain awful times and the occasional amazing and 'why we all love QPR' times. 46 years we sat together with my dad asking me why certain substitutions had been made and others not, and why the manager had no idea what he was doing. But we loved it and it was so lovely to be with my dad sharing that. Even over the last year when my dad wasn't so feeling so good we would talk after every game and talk every day about what was going on at the club. He really loved Rangers and win lose or draw we just loved being there watching the game with all the great people we got to know around us. I have missed it and will miss it a lot.

The doctors, nurses, surgeons and everyone who looked after my dad are putting their lives on the line for us and I just wanted to recognise, having seen it all first hand, what an amazing group of people they are. Coved19 is really evil. Really evil. I've been stuck in 2 A&E lock downs and it really is a plague.

I will miss being at games with my dad but I have been lucky to spend so much of my life with him at our wonderful club.

Please stay safe out there everyone.

Never knowingly right.

Bosh,

I am so gutted for you.

I lost my father some years ago and I always remember both the sadness of his passing, but also the joy of having had the pleasure of his company for as long as I did.

My thoughts are with you.

Really sorry for your loss, Bosh. That was a moving tribute and your shared passion shines through. QPR has been a common joy between me and my Dad ever since he took me to my first game in 1973. Even now, when we live on different continents, I always speak to him after the game to discuss the game and the latest developments. Its a rare thing to have such a lasting shared experience. Stay well and be safe
