Guys,
It pains me to inform you all of this terriblly sad news.
Most on here will know him as the Lurker but to the people closest to him it was Big Alex.
Alex has very suddenly been taken away from his friends and family today and I thought I should let you all know as he was not only a passionate Hibernian fan but a big fan of Hibs.net.
Big Alex you were a gent of a guy and made me feel so welcome when i joined Carricknowe Bowling club.
I cannot believe that only on sunday we were laughing and joking together about how we were going to celebrate Hibs winning the cup this year.
May you rest in peace big man, my thoughts are firmly with your family at this time.

Sorry to hear this Graham - sad sad news.
RIP AlecLife should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Totally shocked about that, I have known Alex for over 20 years from when I was a junior member at Carrick Knowe, he was a gentleman.
RIP big man.

Sat right in front of Alex for the last few years in the West Lower. A great guy and will be sorely missed by all of those that sat around him. Always enjoyed having a go at my pizza consumption as well as ripping up losing Happy Hibby tickets and putting them in whatever hood was closest to him.
Rest In Peace Alex, and condolences to all his family and those that knew him best.Last edited by HibbyScott; 04-02-2010 at 06:26 PM.

RIP Alec

Sorry to hear that. I assume those are two family members in his avatar photo?
To them, to his other family members and his close friends, my sincere condolences.

What a real shame, a we browse through some of his posts and it's plain to see he was simply loving his current Hibbyness:
bought a ticket for the kids campaign, just taken out full membership of dot net and a subsciber to the sponsorship of John Rakin's jersey for the season.
It would be a lovely touch if the wee fellah in the avatar was to get Ranks jersey in his memory...
