Jenga RIP

[Neila]

Think this deserves it own page, sadly Jenga has recently passed away, but love him or loath him on here, he was certainly a character. RIP fellow worky fan  this was previously posted on the Workington thread

 

Hi all, 

I hope this is okay to post as a comment in here.

I know many of you may have known my father as Jenga / j20hh. He sadly passed away recently after battling with various illnesses the last couple of months, but I know he was fairly active on here, and I thought it would be fitting to log into this account to announce it.

I'm aware he was a bit of a marmite character on these forums, but he was on here exactly how he was in real life, a windup merchant with bad grammar. It's been fascinating to look back through his posts and comments, and more so the replies from other people.

I can only apologise if he aggravated any of you with his comments, but know that they've brought a grieving son a great deal of joy, to have an online archive of my Dad just trying his best to wind people up over a sport he loved. Speedway and Workington Comets were a huge part of my Dad's life, and a huge part of my childhood, I'm sure I'll have to get down to Northside to honour his memory soon. 

If any of you happened to know him in real life, I'd be more than happy to pass on funeral details over a PM.

Thanks

RIP Jenga - a true character of the forum, thats for sure

Yeah, RIP Fella. 

Took a little while to grasp him but, once the penny dropped really enjoyed most of his debates and ramblings on here. Enjoy the other side

Rip Jenga and hope you are having good ramblings on the other side.
