RIP Malcolm Harry Roberts - Canveyshrimper

[Beefy]

I don't know what to say. I didn't know him personally but he was one of my favourite posters on here. Always knowledgeable, sensible and witty. I know a lot of you did know him personally and my heart goes out to you and the rest of his friends and family.

RIP.

 

[DTS]

Literally in tears. Really was one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Always had time to say hello. Got to know him at City Shrimpers and always got on great. Don't know what to say literally mortified. RIP Harry

 

[Colchester and proud!]

Just turned 60 I believe.

Thought he was about that, it does make you think I am 60 next April myself, I retired in February after 43 years of work my Dad died aged 56 and too many friends of mine have died young, if people can afford it retire early and enjoy life this is not a rehearsal.

As Smiffy says, pre-match threads wont be the same.

We're gonna get spanked.....:sad:

Great poster, will be missed here, thoughts to friends and family.

 

[Colchester and proud!]

What a sad loss this is. Such a top bloke.

This is for you mate.

We're gonna get spanked :'(

Great comment, he always made me laugh when I saw him post that.

Hit me this morning like a punch in the stomach. People always talk about how nice people are in these instances. But Harry was just one of those really top, top guys. Saw him last week before the game and we stopped for a chat. He'll be missed on here for sure.

RIP mate.

[Firestorm]

Just got the Facebook message. totally gutted
Harry is one of my oldest friends at football having met him on the North bank almost 35 years ago
We lost touch for a while when he went abroad but after a post I made on here some years ago I got a PM frrom someone called canveyshrimper which simply said I think I know you. ...
Wicked sense of humour, disgusting farts and a great mate
RIP Harry

RIP.

I can only echo Beefy's sentiments here. I never met him or knew him personally, but I know he'll be missed on this board. Awful news.

RIP.

RIP Harry,

Will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
I will miss his banter at our Quiz Nights.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

What awful news, I didn't know him personally but it's always tragic to hear of the loss of a fellow Shrimper, will be greatly missed on here.

RIP

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Awful news, didnt know him but always an insightful and humorous poster, will be much missed from this great forum. RIP and condolences to his family.

Be a nice tribute this weekend if we actually got spanked by Cheltenham!

 

[McNasty]

Totally shocked . A great bloke . Don't know what to say really other than a great man who was a pleasure to know and work with on the Zone .
RIP Harry .

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Just saw this on twitter. Gutted, one of SZ & life's good guys. He helped me out with travel info for the Olympic Mountain Biking not so long ago, and once even offered me his SUFC ticket for match as he knew I couldn't get along much. He'd never even met me.

My condolences to all who really did know him.

Godspeed Canveyshrimper.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Had known Harry pretty much all my life; really gutting news.

I'll be getting a few ales in tonight and raising a glass to a lovely man.

 

[A Century United]

We never met, but I didn't have to meet him in person to know what a genuine, nice guy he was. We were going to meet up on my next trip down, but not to be. Rest in Peace, Harry.

 

[undercovershrimper]

Sad news. didnt know him personally but like others have said a brilliant SZ member always enjoyed his posts. RIP Harry.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Truly loved his posts. He must have been the same age as me as a lot of the memories were the same and struck chords. A terrible shame. I did not know him personally but wish I had.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Devastating news. One of the most likeable, kind, warm-hearted, wise and generous Shrimpers I've ever met. A big loss to this site, and to the SUFC-supporting fraternity.

Totally gutted, and right now I'm feeling even further from home than I normally do.

RIP Harry. I will raise a glass tonight.

:'(

 

[CC51DAS]

Just heard.

OH NO NO NO.

Can't think what to say right now.

RIP Harry and God Bless
