Jimmy_D Posted 19 April, 2010 Posted 19 April, 2010 My Great Uncle, Reginald Dance, died a few days ago at the age of 96. My Dad kept in touch with him but I never really knew him, there was a nice piece the Echo about him today, made me wish I'd known him a bit better. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8106748.Family_pays_tribute_to_Normandy_veteran__96/ Rest In Peace.
sadoldgit Posted 19 April, 2010 Posted 19 April, 2010 RIP Reginald. 96 eh? He saw so many changes in his life. It was nice that he passed at a time when his club was on the up again and had success at Wembley.
St Landrew Posted 19 April, 2010 Posted 19 April, 2010 After the article, someone wrote: RIP, old timer. You've earned it. I couldn't have put it better.
Freemantle Saint Posted 19 April, 2010 Posted 19 April, 2010 Totally Agree... My late mothers brother was killed on D-Day whilst serving with the hampshire regiment.... The passing of a generation is taking place.. RIP To a southampton hero...
Teddy Nutkins Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 As someone else said, i'm glad Reg saw Saints "Turn the corner", after too many years of disapointment.Rest easy Reg, Saints are in good hands and so are you.
Badger Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 RIP, shame he hasn't seen us get out of this league yet, but at least he has been to a saints Wembley win and enjoyed a great promising season.
JustinR Posted 20 April, 2010 Posted 20 April, 2010 Reg Dance- cool as f**k name... and no doubt died with a smile on his face, happy that the future is bright RIP
