Popular Post Fordy62 Posted July 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 15, 2023 Hello all, With great sadness I’m afraid I have to inform you of the passing of fellow red Ady/Ade Wood who you’d probably know better from his time posting on here as “Woodsy”, later changing his name to “‘Orns”. Ady was one of life’s good guys. Genuinely huge hearted and the heartbeat of any room he’d be in. He was avid City fan, as well as Gloucester Rugby & Worcester Cricket. He was diagnosed with pretty advanced cancer 4 weeks ago and passed away peacefully last night. Ady leaves behind his wife and four children who he completely adored. At the Edgbaston Ashes test a few short weeks back Ady proudly accosted Mark ‘Tubby’ Taylor and told him how he’d ruined his summer of 1989. I know how happy that made him (pictured). I first met Ady around 1996 when I started playing men’s cricket, he wasn’t particularly skilled with bat or ball, but it was testament to his character that he was continually picked for the first team for his character, oh and he sure could hit it a long way. I’ll include a screenshot from his last Facebook post. Please do me a favour and do it. And hold your loved ones close and tell them that you love them, for life is fragile. RIP Ady, fly high x 18 115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Had quite a back n forth with Woodsy on here 10/15 odd years ago. Once it settled we exchanged a few PMs. He was obviously a huge City fan and he told me about his affection for Gloucester RFC and Cricket. A nice guy as are most of the people you don’t see eye to eye with on a faceless forum. something people need to remember when they sit behind their iPhone. I know he had a couple of other mates that post here, whom I’m sure will be hurting today. His family must be devastated and my heart goes out to them.

Rudolf Hucker Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Woodsy and I frequently enjoyed some good and very enjoyable banter on here a few years back, then he seemed to disappear for a while before his reappearance as ‘Orns. I’m simply gutted to learn of his death and I’m so, so sad for his wife and kids who will be devastated to have lost him. @Fordy62 it was obvious that you and Woodsy (as I’ll always remember him) were close, therefore it’s fitting that you should write such a warm, heartfelt tribute. Please pass on my sincere condolences to his family and friends (I almost want to be there when you tell them that they are in the thoughts of a Rudolf Hucker on OTIB). Rest peacefully Ady. CTYD.

cidered abroad Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I didn't know him personally but when one of us passes on we're all sad. When there is a relatively young family, it makes it such a hard time for them. I hope they realise that he would have wanted them to battle on and not to give up. We all have to go sometime and life isn't always fair. RIP Ady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED4LIFE Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Woodsy was one of the good ones on here for a long time. Always remember his banter with the other posters he lived near (Chard??). 4 weeks is no time to say uour goodbyes and prepare for the end. I ******* hate you cancer.
