a message from Tangmere-XI son ❤️

[monkie]

hi all,

i have been in communication with Flowerpower and i asked him for if he would like to share anything about this dad, he sent this message via flowerpower 

 

Good morning Dave ,

 

 From the son of Peter .

 

N MEMORIAM – TANGMERE-XI

 

All,

 

I’m writing a message on behalf of my dad, whom is known to you as Tangmere-XI.

He enjoyed gaming with you guys very frequently and also for several

(many) years in a row so most of you might know him.

 

Sadly, I have to inform you that my dad Peter passed away at 5 September last month, due to a cardiac arrest.

Still can’t believe it, but I’m sure he wants me to move on from this when the time is right, otherwise he would’ve kicked my ass.

 

Every night he was playing World at War.

Throwing around buzzwords through the headset like ‘’Jochie, Lamlul and Wichser’’ at random, these words became quite familiar to me as well.

He was always having fun with you guys and I’m glad that he did.

Even whilst I was sitting upstairs, I heard him laughing and saying these famous buzzwords all the time. But probably there were a lot more than the three I mentioned before.

 

He recently bought a new PC, and needless to say I was trying to move him over to newer, more recent Call of Duty and ActionRPG-games as I – and everybody’s mother almost – is playing these nowadays.

But… you know the fun part?

He didn’t want to as he said multiple times ‘’Nah…these guys ain’t on there - they are all on World at War so I’ll just stay there.’’ That is how much he enjoyed playing with you guys.

I couldn’t get him over to enjoy all the new-generation games with me, even when he sat at a new 3000 Dollar PC….. Thanks I guess, guys?

 

I’m so glad and thankful for the trips we made in the last years. Father and son.

As some of you may know we visited some famous WW2-sites.

2x Normandy, 1x Bastogne and two months ago we went to Germany to do some third-reich sightseeing.

These were great, great trips where we had lots of fun and where we saw many interesting stuff.

Obviously these trips are now very, very special to me.

 

Please know that Peter (Tangmere), still IS the best dad that I could’ve ever wanted, and I’m very grateful for the times I spent with him and for all that he thought me.

Although it was (way too) short, I will keep him and his memories close to my heart.

As a kid I had everything I wished for because of him and my mom and he raised me as a proper man with morals, values and virtues. I’m proud of him.

 

_On behalf of Tang…._

*I want to thank you all for the good and fun times online. It was a real pleasure.* *One last salute to you all.*

 

If you want more pictures let me know.

 

It was intense to read...what kind words from a son for his father Gr Mat (flower

 

As flower said what lovely words at his time of grief. 

i know i never got chance to help him become a member, wish id pushed him more with it, but he loved XI and in my eyes will always be a member of the XI family.

never forgotten and loved by us all x

Hello Monkie, sorry to learn the news. I recall playing with your dad quite a bit in the old days on COD DM server. He always brought smiles and fun into the game. Able to take shit from us and give it out as well. Rest in peace Tangie. Prayers of comfort to you and yours Monkie.

[Streetcleaner]

Wow ...I played with Tange for a long time and one buzzword that I know of was and is slung around especially when he and Flower were on ...He was always in a good mood and seemed to have fun pretty much every time he was on. He will be missed and it just makes you realize if you haven't already at my age is," Everyday is a gift so get out there and live life" !
