Homme Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I didn't know Sinky, but knew of him from various Hearts away games. I think i love HMFC as much as the next man / woman on this forum, but sometimes you just have to be in awe of the dedication, passion and love Sinky must have had for our club. RIP Sinky.

grantonjambo Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 [font="Arial The wee man will be sorely missed by all his jambo and royal mail family, he had the heart of a lion to fight this terrible disease. His strength was staggering beyond belief but in true sinky style he fought it with dignity and humour and a few tennents.The mail centre will be silent without his antics on a daily basis they broke the mould when this bright star was born he light up all our lives one way or another.I had the priveledge to be at the wee mans birthday party along with a few of his colleagues from work what a day he had , special thanks must go to Ian and Callum for the way thewy looked after him true friends to the end. Gone but no way will we ever forget this character who drove us all mad with his crap jokes his non stop singing , I think i could speak for all his colleagues that we all loved him because he was so charismatic,cheery and the best wind up merchant the mail centre ever had R.I.P SINKY you will always be in our hearts.

AlanB Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sinky brought a lot of happiness into a lot of our lives and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. I'd like to share a classic Sinky moment. I was on a number 35 bus on my way home from the bowling club one sunday night. The bus pulled up at the stop at the corn exchange, there was a slightly merry Sinky at the bus stop. After enquiring about the driver's health the wee man got on the bus. I was sitting near the back and he noticed me and came up and sat beside me. At the next stop a colleague of Sinky's (who was obviously on his way to start a night shift) got on, and noticing that the wee man had had a few sherberts, decided to sit near the front. If he thought that Sinky wouldn't spot him he was sadly mistaken. He immediatly shouted out the guy's name and then the inevitable Sinky banter kicked in. Of course the bloke was completely sober and no match for a half piised Sinky and as a result wasn't really in the mood for Sinky's wit and wisdom, so he made a comment to the wee man questioning his work ethic. Sinky's retort was one of the best one liners i've ever heard and had the whole of the bottom deck in fits of laughter... "I dinnae go into the mail centre to work, I just turn up to make the place look beautiful." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Rewind back about 3 years ago, was having a few post match ales in the CSR. We decided to pop into Robbos on the way home before last orders. Only 3 people in, me the missus and Sinky. He came up and started talking to us unannounced (can't remember the fine details). He heard the girlfriend's accent and said, "You're English aren't you. I hate the English. I like you though!!" In any other situation, the other half would have brained someone for saying that, but she just pissed herself laughing and gave him a big hug and kiss. She found him charming......... What a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crematorium seats 250, there will a couple of reserved pews (Marie Curie,relatives,etc)if it does fill,there is standing area at the back.The post funeral reception is in the Gorgie suite,that will be interesting !!

chester copperpot Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 R.I.P wee fella, Although I never knew you, I had the fortune (and sometimes misfortune) of meeting you at a few grounds over the years. The memory I had was at Stranraer a few seasons ago when you were standing beside me and started harrasing all around you for not trying to sing. Always a live wire and without doubt, one of the biggest Hearts fans you will ever meet. Some may have questioned your politics/beliefs, but the fact you didn't waver in the support of our beloved club will hold you up in high regard for years to come. Rest in peace wee man, god bless.

droid Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Not a lot can be said that others haven't already said on this thread. A man that just literely breathed Heart of Midlothian Football Club and the Hearts Family have lost a truely unique supporter. Not everyone knew him personally, but most knew either of him or tales about his escepades which is testament to the man himself. There will never be another like him and i feel genuinly sad i'll never hear his dulsit tones at Tynie again, but i'll always remember him and how when even the team wasnt doing it he was always there in the background lighting up Tynie.
