It is with sadness that I have to report the passing of former Chairman and Committee member Tony Grimshaw who passed away in hospital on Friday evening.
We offer our condolences to his wife Ann, son Michael and daughter Nicky at this sad time.
Tony was and active member of the LADS until his recent ill health. We had many a good laugh and joke on some interesting trips to Europe and beyond.
Tony arranged a great trip to Italy when he was our Chairman in 2013, where we saw parmesan cheese and Parma ham production. We also saw how balsamic vinegar was produced.
As of yet there is no date for the funeral.
RIP Tony. We will miss you. Our thoughts are with all the family at this sad and difficult time.
UPDATE 12/6/22 : The funeral service will be held at Halsall Church on Tuesday 21st June at 2pm. Please circulate.
