Mod. Notice VALE jozeph, aka Dugdale2Dwyer and Ghostwriter

[Twinkletoes]

Folks, we've lost one of our most passionate posters and supporters, @jozeph, aged only 49.

He'd been posting under the username Dugdale2Dwyer for the past couple of years and had been a member of BF since the very early days. He'd been missing for the past week (his final BF contribution was about a week ago too as it turns out) and his family were worried sick. His body was found earlier today.

He had a posting style which would rub a few people up the wrong way at times but make no mistake, he had a heart of gold and was as dedicated a supporter as you could be. The posting style was an act and he loved shaking things up a little.

I know I'll miss his contributions around here. Shocked to be passing this news on to be honest but I know you all would have known him here to varying degrees and he's been one of our BF family for many years.

A special thanks to Mr Reliable and his daughter Ms Reliable, whom Joe stayed with a couple of times when in town for a game or Syd Barker count.

My heart goes out to them but mostly to Joe's devastated family and friends.

Still in shock here. Joe was a poster who contributed daily.

RIP Joe Chaplin.

s**t.

RIP mate.

 

[Roo Beauty]

I didn't even know him or interact with him at all… but I'm in shock.

Rest easy mate.

 

[giantroo]

Vale old mate!

 

[Quivorir]

Holy balls. Rip mate.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Terrible news.

I enjoyed his contributions and his s**t stirring ways.

Thoughts go out to his family.

 

[dus]

Bloody hell.

RIP.

RIP Jozeph. A tragic end. Well said Twinkles.

*! jozeph was a ripping poster. Loved his work. I'll miss his presence on Big Footy. RIP.

 

[Only Forwards]

Holy s**t.

Speechless.

 

[Bren]

RIP big fella

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Ahhh man, I really hope it wasn't what I think it was.

He was a good fella, someone who I had interacted with a few times via PM. His posting style was very recognisable this I always knew when he had a new alias. Very funny and sometimes incredibly blunt.

Rest easy mate, another loss to the BF community.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

Loved his posting, whether I agreed with him or not. Will be missed.

 

[Gasometer]

Oh that's dreadful news.

We had some great lolz in PMs this year when we realised who he was in the new version.

I was often criticised for referring back to Jozeph when he took that vacation from here ...he was a crack up poster!

If we were all the same this site would be boring..

.....and now it's one less better.

Will miss ya Joe.

 

[Orange Peanut]

That's incredibly sad. A favourite of mine.

Thoughts to his family, and those on here who knew him.

All will miss you.

 

[grEEk_rOO]

*. Poor guy. Thoughts go out to his family. RIP

 

[Mascot Greggo]

Joseph was a constant, seemingly from bf inception and as others have said, regardless of point of view, one of our own.

Really shocked.

Sleep peacefully fellow Shinboner.

 

[Uber poster]

s**t. Game day threads will never be the same. Was he ghostwriter too?

Sympathies to his family and friends.

RIP Jozeph

 

[see see]

Bloody hell.

RIP.

Holy s**t.

Speechless.

This. 49 is far far far too young.

Whether or not you agreed with his point of view, you could never question his passion for all things North.

Condolences to family and loved ones.

 

[trooroo4life]

Whether you agreed with his posts or otherwise, the guy was a character and I would always have a chuckle whenever he threw the line out and folks would bite (may have even been the victim myself a few times over the years).

Really sad news. Never met any of the people on BF but still feel like I know them.

 

[Jonnoo]

Way too young, terrible news, always read his posts with interest. RIP.
