commander Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 It is with deep regrets that I have to announce the sudden passing away of "50 CAL" or "Mark Galley" known to many on here I am sure he was a larger than life figure in many ways and will be sorely missed by all his many friends and associates Commander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antar Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 That is very sad indeed Was he ill? Mark appeared quite well when we last saw him on Boxing day and made no mention of any medical issues. It was no secret that Mark was an insulin dependent diabetic we are awaiting the outcome of a post mortem examination next week. Mark will be sadly missed around the MV Social and rally events around the Northwest. He was a larger than life character interested in all aspects of the MV movement.

commander Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 The deed has been done and Marks friends who could made the trip to Crewe to say there final farewells to him. It had been raining earlier but thanfully it stopped around lunch time the large cogregation of people waiting outside said something of Marks character, there was a fair representation from local MVT groups showing his standing not just in one group but quite a few who turned up I counted over 100 people at the chapel of rest so farewell Mark Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoggyDriver Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Glad to hear Mark had a good send off. I hope the day went as well as could be expected considering the very sad circumstances. Rest in Peace Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
