Guest Mark Cartwright Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) I saw this guy - I've only just found out his name reading this - virtually everywhere I went since getting back on the scene in the last couple of years. We were on 'nodding terms' only but you always got a smile and a connection as both being part of this great scene. It's so sad that this has happened and so difficult for those left behind. My heart goes out to his friends and family - stay strong and remember the good times. Edited March 10, 2008 by Mark Cartwright

Guest Sean Haydon Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 Well, It's been a week since the devastating shock of losing my best mate Rob. So difficult to read your lovely posts let alone write one. Since our Wigan days right through to now, Rob has been a true, solid friend. A perfect gentleman with high moral standards. Always the life and soul of our outings. I was proud to enter any venue with him and be introduced to many as his best friend. It just wont be the same without him. Gonna miss you mate. Sean.

Jellybean Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 This is how we knew Pomma and its how we will remember him...... and i reckon he would like to be remembered this way too R.I.P.........Helen & Martin xxx
Guest Sean Haydon Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 It's with great sadness and heavy hearts that we pay tribute to Rob Pomroy (Pomma). The word "Gentleman" as we've seen on many posts is so true, but also his sincerity and friendliness is how we think of him. Also of a man that always loved a laugh, from picking him up to dropping him off, having Rob with you always ensured you a good night. A devoted Soulie who loved the music, was always first on the dancefloor and last off. We loved you mate. Our deepest heartfelt condolences go out to his family at this very sad time. Such a shame to lose a great friend. Your friends. Dripin, Roger, Dawn, Bazza, Polly, Sean and Jayne. xx Lowton 12th anniv. Roger Dawn Rob Baz Jackie Sean

Guest Fordy Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Pomma - a well known face around the West Midlands who graced most of the local venues as well as travelling the length and breadth of the country enjoying this music of ours has left us. Although I knew him only as an aquaintance and brother in soul , he always made time for a word, laugh and joke whenever we met. He welcomed Annie and I without reservation when we moved back here and I never heard him say a bad word about anyone - probably because he was always on the dance floor sweating cobs ! Our thoughts go out to Bev and friends and family Rest in peace mate Wulfie and Annie So sad too hear this, I got to know Pomma from Goodyears, I think we bumped into each other ( yes on the dancefloor ) and just hit it off. What a great bloke, I can't beleive it. God Bless Pomma. Fordy..
Guest Fordy Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Very sad news, got to know Pomma from going to Goodyears. I think we bumped into each other on the dancefloor and just hit it off. A Great Bloke. God bless Pomma. Fordy..
Jellybean Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Dave (aka Patch) is on call up duty at the mo,but he is getting permission for leave......so he can be at Pommas funeral...... Helen xx
