David Lazzerini has asked me to post the following message:

It is my sad duty to report the death of David Jones on the afternoon of Tuesday 28th April.  David was a dependable Whatton ringer for over 30 years until, together with his wife Sandra who survives him, moving to Taunton in 2010.  Sandra tells me that David was diagnosed with a Neurodegenerative condition with Parkinsonism 2 years ago and, following the inevitable decline, he slipped into unconsciousness and died peacefully.  May he rest in peace.

Brian Bull

I have just heard the sad news that Brin Bull passed away peacefully yesterday (30 April) afternoon at the care home in Gloucester where he’d been for the last few years. He had become increasingly frail, and his health declined rapidly over the past few days. His daughter tells me that there will, in due course, be a memorial service held at St Mary’s Radcliffe on Trent (where he was Captain for 50 years). I will let everyone know when this is arranged. There will be ringing before the service.
