I was lucky enough to meet Howard three or four times and found him to be a gentle man, a kind man and a generous man. I remember he turned up at the Bluebrick on one occasion with a number of T-Shirts he'd brought over from Canada which he handed out to a number of us. Just after he'd given the last one away Uncle Steve came in but Tunds was determined to get a T-Shirt to Steve so he posted one to me for delivery to Uncle, who was over the moon. I know Steve doesn't post on here very often anymore but I know he'll be gutted.
Tundra was a special man, and like Lincs and greystone a rare and special poster. All good men who never had a bad word to say about anybody and were always at ease crossing these football boards, which can get volatile on occasion, without upsetting or insulting anyone and highly respected by all.
Everybody is going to miss the posts and visits of this big, wonderful fella and in a few days, after everyones had a chance to read and respond to this thread me or one of the other mods will move it to Sir Jack's. I'd also like to ask Ray to forward my condolences on to Howards wife and family.
