Roundtwo2: Farewell to friends.
Because of the nature of this site and the fact a lot of us do this in secret, friends come and go and sometimes you never find out why.
So when someone you chat with on a daily basis, someone you've built up a friendship with over years, months whatever, stops logging on, what do you do?
So today I decided to text Roundtwo2 (Al) who I haven't heard from in almost a month, just a quick message, Hi, how's you? . The reply I got was from his partner saying that Al had sadly passed last week, I was shocked.
I'd just like to say thank-you to him for the help and advice on taking the next step in wrestling, but mostly I'd like to thank him for his friendship.

2017-05-24 00:06Am deeply shocked. I didn't know him well, remember the last time we spoke at Pippas, who would have thought he would be dead within the year. Such a nice guy, a real shame. Some people have rotten luck. Thanks for sharing it Mark.

2017-05-24 16:16This is a big shock. Had the pleasure of wrestling Al a few times and as others have said, a true gentleman on and off the mats and we always had a fun time together.
Such sad news but thank you for letting us know.
R.I.P Al you will be missed buddy.
