Richard Iwaniak, RIP
« on: June 30, 2014, 20:52:53 PM »
It is with very great sadness that I inform you that Richard died this morning, following a short illness.  Linda will inform us of funeral arrangements when those details are finalised.

Needless to say, this is shocking news and I send my heartfelt condolences to Linda and their families.

Richard attended the WCOAP at Aspers recently with Linda, as he had many APAT events in the past.  He was liked by all and will be missed. May he rest in peace.

Des.


Edit:

Richard"s funeral details from Linda for anyone who might be able to attend.

"The funeral has now been booked for Wednesday 16 July at 3pm. It will be taking place at the Easthampstead Park Cemetery and Crematorium, Wokingham.

There is a wake booked for after the service and if anybody is available they would be very welcome.  Details of the venue will follow.

For anybody living in the Midlands area there will be a service/scattering of ashes/another wake at the Nottingham Forest Football Ground about one or two weeks later. Again I will confirm the date of this when arranged."

That is truly sad sad news.

I was fortunate to catch up with them both in Stratford, and they were saying how nice it was to be back playing an APAT event again.

Thoughts are with Linda and their families.
