Some of you may have heard about the sad death of 'Big John' Wroe. John was a very well known and well liked match going Red and a long standing member and supporter of both IMUSA and MUST (SU) and worked hard for both organisations.
When John's mum died 18 months ago a number of United supporters went to her funeral simply because with no other family on the scene John only had two things in his life - his Mum and Manchester United so friends wanted to be there as his family.
Sadly John died last Friday at a shockingly young age and with no other family and no money in his estate his good friend Dave has taken on the role of organising the funeral which will cost £2785.00
So far donations of £686.38p have been received so it would be great to think that United supporters will find it in their hearts to make a small contribution towards sending off one of our brothers in the Manchester United family.
IMUSA are helping with the collection and we would like to encourage you to send donations via IMUSA (PayPal or postal as soon as possible) following the instructions here: http://www.imusa.org/newsarticle.php?id=45
Funeral details have now been released from Dave:
"John will be cremated on Thursday 15th March at 1.20pm at Southern Cemetary Crematorium.
Please be there for around 1pm - ish with your UNITED tops on. And send our John off to where all the good people go.
Those of you who can't make the crematorium, the wake will be held at The Bricklayers Arms on Ordsall Lane, Salford. Just by McDonalds on Regent Road from 2.30pm onwards."
