Sorry to hear this... I remember him having the best stories at all the meets, the sort of guy that's great to sit next to in the pub for the entertainment

Condolences to his family; his friends both here and irl will miss him.

I'm pretty upset to hear this. While I don't post here that often, I do read the posts here on an almost daily basis. I'm going to very much miss his contributions here.

This is terribly sad. Godfrey was a great character of the empeg community and will be missed very much.

Sad news. He will be missed

We will be celebrating Godfrey at the empeg party in a special way, Saturday 9th July.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I've met him several times at Empeg meets since 2003. My thoughts are with his family.

It will be Godfrey's funeral this coming Thursday, I'm going to attend and represent the empeg crowd. I think AndyM will also be coming.

I'm planning to make a gesture to the family on behalf of myself and the empeg community. I'm not sure if his family want flowers or a charity donation yet. If you would like to contribute to that then you can paypal me at(@) crismatthews.com

If anyone would like to send a more personal message, or in fact would like to attend then please PM me and I'll supply the details.

Edit - Just family flowers, all donations will go to The British Heart Foundation. If you would like to make a donation please PayPal me, I'll collect together and make sure Gift Aid is applied to maximise even international donations.

Edit 2 - To clarify, I will be making a donation from my own funds to the value of the amount collected (which is coming along thanks to those who have already sent) plus my own donation to meet the rules of gift aid, this makes a big difference to the charities.

Cheers

I'm another who only knew Boxer through the his posts here. They were always a treat to read, and I'll miss them. My condolences to the family.

Last chance to make a contribution if you'd like to. I'll be putting them all together this time tomorrow.

Big thanks to those who have already.

Cheers

Well Godfrey had a fantastic send off in his local Church. Standing room only !!!

Really nice to see so many people, and a great set of pictures on the wall back at the pub.

In total we made a donation of £187.50 to the British Heart Foundation in Godfreys name, so a massive thanks to all that contributed. I know his family will be touched by the gesture.

Cheers

Cris
