The Funeral of Don Howell 9th March 2011

The funeral took place at Epsom at 2pm. There were a number of VC members there including Norman Hunt, John Timperley, John Skinner, Tony Gathercole, Dennis Hill, Stuart Courtney, Lance Kinder and John Woodliffe. Don’s son Don and daughter Sally spoke movingly of the very   interesting and full life their father had had – despite a most difficult beginning - and of his love of sport and particularly squash. He was our club singles O/55 Champion in1983, the O/60 Champion in 1985, the O/65 Champion in 1992, as well as the O/55 doubles Champion in 1986 with Norman Hunt.
