To all of Ulls friends in the 'Living with Incurable Cancer community.
have just heard from Ulls' wife that Ulls passed away on Tuesday 6th May at 6:50am. He passed away comfortably in a Hospice.
I have known Ulls since I was diagnosed nearly 4 years ago. He has/had a great character and I feel special to have had the opportunity to know him. I know Ulls supported Sunderland, but I can't hold that against him.
I managed to get Ulls to join the Maggies' Prostate Support Group in Newcastle with me. Ulls was there for me in some of my low moments and also there to share in some better moments. Myself and my partner Tracey will miss him, as will a lot of you in the Macmillan Prostate forum.
I don't think i have stopped crying since I heard the news.
I have special permission to post this in your community.
Thank you
Ulla and I had been good friends since the day he joined this site
We had a special joke between us.
He was Pappa Bear and I was mamma Bear.
It was an Honour and Privilege to have know him, he was a true gentleman, and i will truly miss him. though I will never forget him.
Time to Rest Pappa Bear xx
He did like a joke, at one point he was Bill and another member was Ben and I was Little DEEW, spelt backwards other wise naught naught.
Bill and Ben used to be on the TV a long long time ago, we had a such a wind up over it, memories are price less.
Thank you Steve, for letting the forum know, Ulls was wonderful friend to all who knew him, a true gentleman with a heart of gold, and ready to help everyone he could, a very sad day for everyone, can you please pass on my sincerest condolences to his family for me, God bless you Ulls, be at peace
love Eddie xx
