Dear Members,
Further to my recent message to you about Paul Cooper's sudden passing, I would like to make you all aware that the funeral will be held on Friday 10 November, starting at 1015, at Holy Trinity Church, Hyde.
Following from there mourners will be invited to Dukinfield Crematorium and then for refreshments at the club.
Paul's wife Janet invites you all to pay your respects.
Kind Regards
John Buckley
Dear Members,
I have just been informed that Paul Cooper, one of our most esteemed members, and a former Chairman, passed away last night.
Paul served our club with distinction as a committee member, Chairman, player and coach.
His son Greg, himself a former player, sent the message of his father's passing with a request we let our members know the sad news.
I'm sure many of you will have known Paul personally, and will therefore send his family your personal condolences.
Paul had been visiting Greg yesterday, at his home in LEEDS.
He died peacefully in his sleep...
Personally I remember Paul with great affection. He always offered his most loyal support when I was club captain, coinciding as it did with his Chairmanship. His intelligence and humility were obvious virtues, and with a beaming smile he could light up the room with his warmth.
Hyde Cricket and Squash Clubs sends it's sincerest condolences to Paul's family.
John Buckley
Secretary
