The sad passing of "Kelbo".

[ancient]

From all his posts a guy i would have loved to have met alas not to be R.I.P. Kelbo ,thoughts to the ones he leaves behind

[Brfcrule1]

I echo these sentiments although I never personally knew the bloke I really liked his contributions to this site my condolences to his family during this very sad time and if there is we as a community and the players could take from Kelvin is his amazing signature T.E.A.M. Together Everyone Achieves More some of our players could do with remembering this. I also wish Kelvin could have seen us in a better time. Say hello to Uncle Jack from all of us RIP Kelvin.

Goodbye, Kelbo.

The world is a worse place for your passing.

My heartfelt condolences to all your family and friends.

[Head Rover Heels]

Prompted me to log in after a few years away. You'll be sorely missed Kelbo. My thoughts are with your friends and family.

[Claytons Left Boot]

Yes, would have been nice to meet up and chat about the lads, particularly around the late 50s and early 60s, a time I really wish I could have seen Rovers wise. RIP Kelbo.

Seen some nice words said on twitter about Kelvin as well, seems he was very highly regarded on the football scene and in his community

A huge loss

R.I.P. Kelbo!

R.I.P Kelbo!

I'm sure Uncle Jack will have welcomed you with open arms!

[Guest Norbert]

Never met the guy, but as a lot have said, he was one of the better posters here, and I did read what he had to say as it usually pretty balanced and literate. Hope his family are OK.

Sad news indeed.. always a shock when someone you even know a little passes away, puts life into perspective.

You will be missed by many Kelbo, RIP

NB if you are up there reading this forum, you could always pop back and haunt Venkys a little.

R.I.P. Very sad news.

I'll miss our occasional PM's.

Sincere condolences to his family.

R.I.P. Kelbo, hope the family can take a small crumb of comfort from the fact he is so well regarded, even by strangers thousands of miles away. Always interesting and always respected

[DP]

When skimming through topics I would always stop and take the time to read through his posts. Says it all really.

Sad news indeed. Also the same age as my Dad who is also a devoted Rovers fan. Will be sorely missed.

Not knowing or ever speaking with Kelbo, makes me wonder why this news made me so sad. I can only reiterate what others have said.

Keep battling on Ben.

Seems he was a very well liked and respected man. Didn't know him myself but he seemed very knowledgable and balanced with his posts.

RIP
