I don't believe i met him face to face but in the CS days i remember him on comms liked  good laugh, Thoughts are with you and yours  at this difficult time.


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

In case anyone missed it on the previous page, Blunt set up a webpage where you can donate to Cancer Research UK in NvG's/Bru's name.

I was away over the weekend so missed this. Sorry to hear this news. I've met NvG a number of times at the various LANs and he was always a nice bloke with a ready smile. Cancer is a biatch. It's taken a number of my mates, my brother and my mum.
I do exactly what the little voices tell me to.

On behalf of dMw, the Admins have discussed and have decided to donate £25.00 on behalf of the Community in memory of Bru. This is in addition to any personal donations and we would encourage anyone contemplating a donation to continue to do so.

We trust that no one minds us making this call and we are, as always, happy to discuss if anyone wants to contact me.

Thanks.

That is marvelous!

Thanks very much on behalf of Bru's wife Frankie, Jamie & Millie.

Bru's funeral is planned for Sat 12th July.

Haven't got a time yet, but it will be at his home in Waterlip.

If anyone is planning to attend, I can sort accommodation for a few, just give me a shout.

I would have liked to attend, but I'm marshalling that day for the MK Midnight Moo which I am sure Bru would have appreciated and seen as a decent excuse.   Please pass on my best dMw wishes to Frankie, Jamie and Millie.

I'll have to give my apologies too I'm afraid. It's the weekend my American nieces fly into the UK so we'll be with them.

I hope it goes well

I to have just seen this and it comes as quite a shock, even though I did know he was not well but I certainly did not know to the extent of it.

NVG / Bruce was a cracking feller and someone that I personally will miss -

I will never forget the first time I gamed with him in BC2 and thinking to my self how can someone be that good in a chopper with out hacking although was very glad when he was on my side. It was not until my first DMW Lan many moons ago that he explained to me his tactics and I thought genius idea but personally was never was able to replicate it and ended up plowing straight into a building.

Also (true story) on my first meet of him and discussing these tactics in the bar, he accidentally knocked over my pint which went over the table plus myself, so this added to the constant chopper kills at his hand did not add well to my first wrongly assumed opinion. After much apologizing and mopping down of damp clothes, he got up with out saying anything and walked off, much to my confusion. 3 mins later he came back to the table with not only a fresh pint of beer but also a shot of whiskey as a sorry and proceeded to explained this is not how all new Lan attendees are welcomed. Least to say he still did not hold back on the fire button when playing BC2 later but all ended with smiles and laughter.

My thoughts and wishes go out to all his relatives and friends.

Really sad news, as everyone has said NVG was a top bloke and will be missed by us all.

Bru had a lovely funeral today (Sat).

He was buried in the field next to his house, surrounded by those he loved and who loved him.

All the wonderful comments that people have made here and on his just-giving page have meant so much to Frankie, Jamie & Millie, and me.

Thank you.
Regards
Blunt
