R.I.P. Icenian and Condolences to Icenian tribe.

Icey was a true gent and his posts will be deeply missed.

We should have a hall of fame for fishy posters that are taken from us, a place to remember those like Icey and meggiesbeergut.

Immensely saddened by the news - my condolences to his family & many friends.

I didn't know Icey personally, but I knew from reading his witty and educated posts that I would have liked the gentleman a lot.
The Fishy has lost a class act.

He passed away with optimism in his heart for the forthcoming season, which is as it should be. RIP, Sir.

What sad sad news this is. I didn't know the Icey, but like others, always enjoyed reading his posts. One of the very best & respected on The Fishy. I hope you rest in peace.

This is a great loss, Icey was a poster you could rely on for a well thought out and well written post and for a knowledge going back decades. What I liked about him too was that he wasn't afraid to admit if he was wrong and that's a rare quality especially on a football forum.

RIP - condolences to the family and the Mariners have lost a genuine good 'un.

Terrible news. I didn't know Icey personally but it was like I did as we had plenty of banter on here.

Didn't know the man personally, but felt we were on the same wavelength about nearly all things. I feel that if I had met him it certainly wouldn't have felt like meeting a stranger! Truly hope it was painless and I'm sure his energy will live on long after his passing. Stunned; as Icey was such a fixture of my daily life without realising it, and I'm fighting back the tears.

Condolences to his family and all who were close him.
