Arthur Allen
« on: April 17, 2025, 02:13:41 PM »
Passed away on the 9th April (his mothers birth and death day weirdly coincidentally) from heart failure aged 86.  He first took me down the Villa to see us beat Torquay United 5-1 and cemented a love of Aston Villa deep in my heart. My deepest regret is that he never got to see the wall tile I bought for him on his last birthday but it will always be a memorial to him at the ground that we both dearly love. 

Rest in peace dad. Up The Villa  :'(

It sounds as if the wall tile is a lovely way to commemorate your Dad.

Sorry for you loss.
I'm sure going to VP will always evoke some very special memories for you with your Dad and hopefully this brings some comfort at this time.

Sad to hear of the loss of your Father Breezeblock.  The memorial tile is a great idea for many reasons.
