RIP ‘Punk’

[Tommy]

Heard that long time Don’s fan who, more often than not, dressed in double denim with a scarf on each wrist has passed away. I’m sure older posters will know him.

A good lad. RIP Duncan.

[sheepcrooky]

He sat not far behind me in the RDS. He certainly knew how to swear 😀

 

Someone told me at the Ross County game on Saturday he had died, bloody shame that. Seemed a nice enough guy.

He used to start a lot of songs in the old beach end. He taught me swear words 😄

Not sure about Torry as King Street area when I first met him.He did sit in middle along with a Pacitti.

May he rest in peace.

Always sad to hear of a character being lost from the support.

[Watson Oh The Bar! Scanlon Yes!]

Sad news.

My first encounter was sitting in the seat right next to him at the 5-0 capitulation against the SuperJs at McDiarmid in 1990. Main stand for some reason down at the front near the dugouts. 
 

Was entranced by the double denim and long hair look. Cant remember much swearing from him, but from then on always spotted him wherever we were at an away game.

RIP

RIP. Sorry to hear that. Can remember him at the Beach End leading the singing as if it was yesterday. Thought he was proper Hard in those days.

[RDS]

Lovely guy who loved the Dons. Remember him from way backin 70s and paths crossed when my brother served his time as sparky at Hall Russell where Duncan worked 

[Dandyesque]

He was my neighbour the last 10 years and it was a shock to hear he'd died. Only 66/67.

Used to enjoy many a chat about the Dons with him. 

Just about every text message he'd sign off with FTH.

RIP Duncan.

FFS .

I got made aware of this from my mate just now .

 

Punk was a good guy first met him on a job beside the Duthie park back in 1978 i was doing the heating and he was doing the re-wiring .

We used to go to the duncing the beach ballroom at the time one of the nicest of guys you'd ever meet .

He was staying near Aberdeen university he loved it there near pittodrie and his daughter .

Last saw him at a Christmas night just past for a Christmas meal he was  out with fellow ex BT workers always great to chat with him .

 

I'm in shock and feeling upset 😢

BBB says he knew him well.

He first met him in 1970 e was called Punk even then well before the music came.

He saw him regularly at the fitba in the 70s YY Crew (skinheeds) and he stayed in Vikky road when BBB stayed in Abbey Place in the 80s .

 

He said he was a lovely bloke .

Rest in peace Punk.

10_30 am I've been told Dandy.

 

The man deserves a big turnout for sure.

 

Going to leave soon .

It must be terrible to have a poorly attended funeral. I’d be hoping for triple digits, at least.

I only like about 14 people.

If 4 turn up I'd not haunt folk.

Yeah, but she’ll have to leave your dad before we get wed. Time is of the essence.

Make that 15, a love a sausage roll.😂

Has there been a ‘fit do you want your funeral/ wake to be like’ thread? 
 

every wake I’ve been too (of young folk passing) has been complete madness. Better than a wedding every day of the week 

 

 

 

 

edit, RIP punk obvz
