He had been readmitted to Hillingdon hospital on Wednesday with pneumonia (again) but sadly lost the battle,
He had fought so strongly to get his life back after the oesophageal cancer .
Richard was a member of the committee for many years as well as acting as a road steward for his local area.He will be greatly missed by all the village community

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of John Squiers. John was a long-time committee member of the Association and was Membership Secretary for a good number of years. He was very persuasive on the Association’s behalf. If he called to discuss a member’s offer of help, they somehow ended up doing more than they had originally thought!! He was also one of life’s true gentlemen in both senses of the word a very gentle man and an old fashioned courteous man . He will be greatly missed.
This picture shows John doing sterling work for the Association during Gala Day in 2002.
