Today and nearly every Saturday Harry would climb on the bus at the far end of Canvey where he lived and come into Hadleigh to do his shopping in Morrison's. I would often see him and stop for a chat and ask why on earth he came all that way just to do some shopping. He explained he didn't like to shop on Canvey and there were better bargains to be had in Morrisons...I always asked if he wanted a lift back with his 3 bags full up , but on every occasion he turned me down and said he treated it as a bit of a day out. He would then go home and perhaps start the whole trip again to Southend to watch the game

Today I will not be seeing him and that brings a tear to my eye this morning as things are just not the same any more.:sad:
 
I didn't know H in person, we never met, but I hugely respected his contributions on here. He was always insightful, balanced and humorous and his posts were some of the ones that I rarely bypassed. I have enjoyed reading all of the tributes and stories and they have made me feel like I knew him personally. It's been an emotional thread to read but that shows the amount of love that everybody had for him. Hopefully he's giving the big man up there hell, stealing the radio to tune into BBC Essex and moaning that "we're gonna get spanked".

RIP fellow Shrimper, and condolences and best wishes to your nearest and dearest.

He might have done. I was thinking that yesterday when I spotted a post mentioning you, CC51DAS and Harry being on the old North Bank together. At the very least I suppose my Dad might have spoken to him on a few occasions!
 
Never knew I'm personally but his posts were always ones I looked out for, balanced, funny and knowledgable. It's obvious by the reaction on here what a great guy he was, thoughts go to his family and friends at this hard time.

RIP

£58 pound raised on the TZ coach for flowers well done too all - special mention to Scott Clough who threw £10 note in!!!

God bless you all x
 
Didn't know him personally but always laughed at his 'we're gonna get spanked' line. (Sometimes he was absolutely right!). Always sad when we lose another Shrimper family member. RIP Harry and condolences to all your work colleagues, family and friends and fellow supporters who knew him personally. You will now be watching the Blues from the top tier. I hope the club have a tribute to him at the next home game.
 
Didn't know him personally and never met him but he always came across as a lovely guy on here. Always someone who knew what he was talking about and will be missed by all I'm sure.

RIP.
