Revived Red
 

With deep sadness I'd like to let you know that my father in law, Bernard, also known to many of you here as Revived Red, passed away totally unexpected at 03.30 this morning. I'm sure many of you will have met him, especially at various away games etc. He loved Stanley and was a season ticket holder for many seasons, passing the Stanley bug on to me and my husband and kids.

Re: Revived Red
 

Very sad news indeed..... Bernard was a true Gent and 'Stanley' through and through.....

Kayleigh, please accept my deepest condolences and pass them onto Dominic and the kids...........

He will be missed dearly...........

I’m saddened and stunned to hear such dreadful news. I was only in contact with Bernard the other week and looking forward to when we could next catch up at a Stanley game.
Truly sad news and condolences to you and the rest of his family.

Oh my goodness, that must have been an awful shock for you all. So sorry for your loss, only met Bernard briefly a couple of times but he was a true gentleman. Sincere condolences to all your family xx

Oh this is really sad news to hear of the passing of Revived Red. Condolences to his family and closer friends……...
A proper member of the ‘Stanley Family’.

Re: Revived Red
 

We met online, never in the flesh, but we got on well, and I liked him immensely. I am so sad to hear of his passing, and will miss his occasional pms which usually centred round my mangling of Latin in pursuit of a smile. My condolences on your sad loss. Bernard was one of the family, who will be remembered.

This is very sad news. And I can only apologise for having jokingly described RR as "missing in action" when I wrote up my Prediction League report for the Doncaster game this morning. RIP Bernard.

Re: Revived Red
 

My thoughts go out to you & your family at this sad time, I never met RR (Bernard) but we exchanged pms due to the fact he had another passion besides Stanley & that was Ships & shipping. My awareness of this fact came about by chance when through a random chat we realised he knew my Father, another avid "Ship spotterist".

A sad loss to both the club he loved & our forum.
His posts were always well reasoned & balanced.

He would be so happy with a win!

Re: Revived Red
 

Very sorry to hear of Bernard's untimely passing, please accept my condolences. I remember first making Bernard's acquaintance many years ago on a train platform in East London as he was wearing a 1962 Stanley shirt, and our paths crossed many times subsequently, usually at away games. I enjoyed chatting with him and found his views interesting and always educative.

Re: Revived Red
 

Like everyone else I was saddened to hear of Bernard's passing.
I was, fortunately, so lucky not to only have met him on many occasions at The Crown and at away games, but also to share many PM'S with a man I came to like and admire. On these occasions we always managed to put the world to right but also to quietly whisper the ways in which The Reds could be so much better if they really tried ! ( but don't tell anyone please ).

So, once again a friend has gone and I must rely on my fading memory to recall all that was good about them. My kindest thoughts are with Kayleigh and all of Bernard's family at this sad time in their lives.

My last sincere 'Thank you ' to Bernard, is for always laughing, sometimes with a grimace, at the sad puns and gags which I always managed to lay on him !...such tolerance !.

Accrington Stanley and many of his friends have lost a true fan and a
true Gentleman !.

Re: Revived Red
 

Put so eloquently, which is nothing less than he would expect ;)

Re: Revived Red
 

just wonder if i have ever spoke to him or not. over the years you speak to loads of people at games without ever knowing their names. its always a sad day for friends and families when this happens and no words really can console them.

My dear friend - Bernard McCall
 

Just to keep everybody up to date, I have sent some P.M.'s and have spoken with Bernards family about giving an update :)

This is from the family:-

A celebration of Bernard’s life will be held on 13 September, 11.30 at Weston super Mare Crematorium. All welcome – please wear colour.Donations for RNLI (Portishead) to be sent to Peter J Connell, 2 Cabstand, Portishead BS20 7HW

There will be a wake afterwards at the local cricket club where all are welcome.


Most of us will not be able to make it in person, but we can be there in our thoughts :)
