I'm afraid I have some very sad news to relay to you all.

Many of you will have met Godfrey (boxer) at meets and events over the years, his daughter has sent me a message this evening to let me know he has passed away today.

I don't have any more details at this point, but as the family supply them I will pass them on.

Godfrey was certainly one of the most unique and interesting people I have had the pleasure of knowing. And although I didn't spend as much time with him as I would have liked to I always enjoyed our conversations and his amusing tales.

I know the Empeg crowd was really important to Godfrey, it seems fitting to arrange some kind of tribute to him. I am willing to facilitate this, and would welcome fitting suggestions. If anyone would like to pass on any thing personal please PM me and I'll supply the details.

Cris.
