In before all the cocaine accusations and character bashing bullshít..

What allegations?

He was doing cocaine, it's not an allegation so much as a definitive aspect of his live and death.

I did care last year, until all the drug stuff came out but I do feel sorry for his family.
People have anniversaries every day of the week, life goes on.

Why would "the drug stuff" change your opinion? He was clearly overweight, was known to be fond of rich food and drink, and he died of a heart attack.

Even before the toxicology reports emerged it seemed apparent he was the architect of his own demise. (Though it was suspected from the start that cocaine my have been implicated, as it was known he liked a snort)

As the title says, Broadcaster Gerry Ryan will be dead one year tomorrow.

My God how time flies!

Leaving cause of death, love or loathe him aside, may he RIP.

And I first read about it on Boards!

I thought G.Ryan was the best, I really looked up to and respected what he had to say.

But the things which have been exposed since his death has left me disgusted by the man's hypocrisy.

May he rest in peace all the same.

A year already?

sniff, sniff, sniff. . .

No I'm not crying . . .
