Disappointing To Say The Least.
37 Answers
Yesterday was the 19th anniversary of the death of my best friend. We'd known each other from being small children, growing up, getting married etc. His death at the relatively young age of 51 was a big shock, but I think it was related to the fact that he was one of the prison officers caught up in the Strangeways riots of 1991. If anyone remembers one part of that where 3 officers were trapped in tunnels for days, my mate was one of those officers. He was never the same after that. However, his grave is located only 200 yards from his house, where his wife and daughter still live. I went to put some flowers on yesterday but was disappointed to see nothing from his family. Nothing today either. In fairness, they may have visited without laying any tributes, but I felt very disappointed to say the least.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.OP I've never known anyone celebrate or mark the day of someones death.My father died 15 years ago but I seriously can't remember which day it was in March 2003. Maybe his family visit on other occasions? Its not really anyone's place to judge how loved ones are remembered after death its a very personal thing.

o goodness me !
I was doing judo at Strangways at that very time !
Did we ever meet ?
The Chief Warder taught us judo ( orange belt only but I wasnt there for the colours) - had when I had taken a knife off a man in the street I wrote to him and thanked him. (his tecnics which we practised week after week, worked)
yeah yeah playing judo doesnt involve running at each other with pretend knives, make believe broken bottles...staves, 2 by 4s
ALtho I do think about him and the classes I think he should still be nameless....
so yes I recollect the event very clearly
programme from the cons point of view a year or so ago on teevee
( end of slopping out - can you believe they still did that 30 y ago?)
