Was my neighbour for a while and he was a very affable chap, easy to talk to and with a wry sense of humour.

As mentioned, he was one of the best posters on the fishy and having known him for a little while, he was just as interesting and knowledgeable in person, and not just on the subject of GTFC.

Just spent a bit of time re-reading some PM's we exchanged last year.

Sad news.

RIP.

RIP fellow Mariner.

TRRFC has been on the fishy for as long as I remember being on it myself. I remember having opposing views as him on many things but he always put his side of the debate across in a really informed and interesting way. Never met him personally but a good poster on here.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover
It is my sad duty to advise the wider Fishy family of the death of my dear friend Ron Rafferty fan club, who passed away at the weekend.

We worked together for many years at St. Andrews Hospice and St Andrews Children's Hospice where he volunteered, and our mutual love of GTFC brought us many happy memories! We tried to include GTFC in our fundraising activities wherever possible, and posters might remember the wear your GTFC shirt to work day, and the Santa run which included a couple of laps around Blundell Park, amongst others. We did lots of other stuff but we invariably chatted about GTFC whenever we could...

RRFC was a well-known teacher in the area before he retired and his wise words and sense of humour will be sorely missed.  


Condolences Lew on the passing of RRFC, another mariner gone but not forgotten.

RIP RRFC 🙏

Sorry to hear the news about RRFC, like others have mentioned, I can remember him posting as long as The Fishy has been around. RIP.

This is very sad news. I often disagreed with him on here but his arguments and the general manner in his postings commanded respect. He will be very much missed.
No doubt he's "up there" kicking a ball about with his hero.
RIP mate.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.
