RIP Gerry Glennon

Many of you will have seen Gerry at one time or another over the years and in a variety of states. He was a real character and as someone commented "the Alpha Male of the Belfast Street Drinkers". At over 6 feet he was a big man with a beard to match. Who knows what lurked in there *shudders* but i always found him to be alright.

One of the more affable street drinkers Gerry passed away earlier this

week. A little bit of Belfast history has passed on. We won't see the likes of him again as the newer generation of drinkers have a harder edge to them without the humility and old school character of Gerry.

Sad to think that he never got to get inside the Victoria Centre (which opens today) to annoy the staff in his own inimitable style!

Where ever you are Gerry i hope you are happy.
