ChrisP Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 It is with great sadness that I have to announce the sudden death yesterday of David. He has been a long time member of the Club with his wife Judy. Over the past years he has been the club secretary and tried to keep us informed with any news, by producing a letter or two each year. Our thoughts go out to Judy and the family. Chris and Hilary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire Lad Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Very Sad and shock news, I echo Tony's words. I only met David a few times and was very impressed with his knowledge. It was clear to me that he was one of a few who held the club together and the provider of some very informative information. My sincere condolences to his family.

Hannah Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Having just heard the terrible news of David’s passing, Owen and I wish to pass on our condolences to David’s family and friends. David always struck me as a gentle soul, kind, considerate, courteous. An articulate and intelligent gentleman, committed to documenting and safeguarding the club’s past, and actively working on the committee to secure the club’s future. David always made an effort to say hi at social events, and ask us how we were doing. We only knew him for a brief period compared to many other Saracens, but I have no doubt he will be greatly missed by many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saracen RC Administrator Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 I was deeply saddened to get this news today. I had the pleasure of serving with David on the committee for a couple of years and his devotion and commitment to the Saracen Road Club was nothing short of passionate. I send my sincere condolences to Judy and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKENT Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 What a loss to humanity & most importantly his family David’s passing represents! Unfortunately I only got to know him in the more recent years following the resurrection of the Club & monthly meetings by Ivor, Chris & Eddy! His racing years were long before mine. It soon became apparent that he & Judith were a significant building-blocks of the Club’s very foundations. The welcome that was afforded the membership by the annual or bi-annual opening of the Jones’s family home over a number of years was kindness personified. David’s knowledge of club events & the good Old days was second to none. A Gentleman par excellence without doubt whom I never heard speak ill of anyone. Another elder statesmen of the Saracen has so suddenly left the Club’s ranks & his family with an unfilled void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
