I have just found out the terribly sad news of Willies passing.

We all knew that Willie was not very well, but I never thought that this would be the news that I would bring to the Forum.

His son David posted this on Facebook earlier today


It's with a heavy heart that I have to let those that knew him that dad (Willie Clucas) passed away peacefully last night in ITU.

This was meant to be his last year as Chief Scrutineer at the TT. He was gutted that he couldn't be there with the team. Please feel free to post any pics you have of him.

Thank you to those of you that knew him for making his life one he loved.

RIP Dad xxxxx
