BroadAmbition Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 It is with a sad and heavy heart that I must notify the NBN that the Legend that is Boycee left us earlier this evening. Another one too soon. Condolences to his family Griff 1 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is such sad news. I had several 'near miss' with Boycee and never did get to have a beer with him. He supported the pubs too. Serious condolences to his family and many friends. Great loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouldy Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Sad news indeed. I never met him, but his boat was pointed out to us last year when we were looking to buy ours at his home marina and I have spotted it out and about a couple of times since. As others have said, condolences to his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 my condolences to his family, i only met him once, but he was a true gentleman and all round good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This is very sad indeed. He's been a member of this forum for very many years (like me), and we finaly had the pleasure to meet him at Oulton Broad last September. Sadly, we were to be leaving soon, so never really had the chance to get together and have a chat and a cuppa, and I feel very sad to know we won't be seeing him this week. R. I. P Alan, and may you be cruising the the rivers of heaven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrumpyCheddar Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I remember the first time I met Alan at the ferry inn and we struck up a great friendship... Every holiday time we would meet up and put the worlds to right.. He had fantastic knowledge of the Broads. And where to get the best pint on the Broads to.. Alan was a great and funny guy. An absolute legend . He would always say it how it is. He is going to be missed so much by every one and especially me.. My dearest condolences to dear Mags and the family.. Its going to be hard this year not hearing him say to me “Ay up Scrump you alright son” R.I.P Alan Mike & Tan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadAmbition Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Yes , those same words every time ’Heyup Griff, you alright son’? followed by his smile when he got the affirmative. He once introduced me to a full clientele in the Nelson Pub to perform a full rendition of ‘Ilkley Moor BarTat’ He did this without informing me before hand. He had that smile and wicked wink. Stitched me up good n proper. I’m so glad now that I have that cherished memory Griff 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
