The Naitch Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Can only echo what everyone else has said. That’s no age to be going. Thoughts go out to his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that really shows the measure of the man that his boys are so selfless. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elixir Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Wow, that's so sad to hear and I had no idea he was going through such a battle. Thoughts with his loved ones and, like with the football last night, a stark reminder of how life can change in an instant. Appreciate every moment you have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParsJake Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Can only say what many others have said, awful,awful news and very sorry for your loss. The total is looking very impressive already, and I hope that can give some sort of comfort to the family, however small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Awful news. Played him at chess only a few weeks ago, absolutely no idea he was ill. Such a shame, that's no age at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all have more words than me right now and it's been a pleasure to read how highly he was respected on here. God knows every single time he took a crap he was was on this forum, glad to know this was time well spent. Although maybe I should post this infuriating behaviour on another thread That brutal honesty was just how we rolled tbf. We are lost without him. You absolutely should post on the infuriating partners thread if it feels right for you. Its probably the funniest and least rancorous thread on p and b (until this one obvs) and if it's not to presumptuous, it may be a cathartic and valuable part of your process. I know it would be of huge value to us to read and engage with whatever you post. Thank you for your response. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speckled tangerine Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Condolences to Madwullie's family and friends. I enjoyed his forays into the politics forum. What I would say is that we all argue like fishwives over trivial things on this site but when all is said and done, it's a wee community on P&B. All the posters I've met IRL have been sound. I never had the pleasure sadly with Madwullie, but when something like this happens I really take it to heart. It's a part of our group we've lost. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP_81 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Was telling Mrs P about madwullie and showing her his justgiving page. Instantly she asks where he lives as she's sure his kids play with ours , turns out he's just up at the top end of my street! He was a frequent poster on our estate's residents Facebook page , trying to reunite abandoned toys with their rightful owners and such stuff, even offering to take over the admin for it a few weeks ago when the person who set it up was going to quit doing it. Always came across on it as a thoroughly decent and genuine guy. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) I'm sure the fans of most clubs experience this, but the online Motherwell fans are a pretty tight group across Pie & Bovril, Steelmen Online, FirParkCorner etc in terms of having been aware of each other for many years and in lots of cases this transfers over into real life. Whilst I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person (not to my knowledge anyway...although there is a very good chance we have been in each others company somewhere at some point and just not realised), he's been a well known and liked part of the 'Well fan community for a long time. Sadly we also lost a very well known and well respected Motherwell poster in Andy P a few days ago as well. Thoughts go out to the families and friends.

Sweaty Morph Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Had seen the name on these boards but never had any dealings with him. However, as someone of similar age with similarly aged children, this has really hit home. Thoughts are with his family. Rest in peace, man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 For those of you who'd like to donate in his memory, Woody now has a Just Giving page. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/woody-willowfoundation Thanks everyone. As Mrs Madwullie has said, all your kind words have been a great comfort to us. And it might even be the first time in history that Pie and Bovril gets a mention at a funeral. Guys this is up to £2500 - which is fantastic. But let's try to add a bit more if we can... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Just noticed this as I’ve not been on this part of the forum recently. It’s always a shame when you see a dad taken away from their kids. Only 44 too. He always came across as a decent spud. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shandon Par Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 If madwullie is reading this from the other side, part of him will be delighted by the fundraising but with his P&B hat on he’d be hoping Cardinal Richelieu embezzles the lot and spends it on a cruise round the fjords and getting some home improvements done. 38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
