Julian Behmber

Sadly Julian passed away over Christmas…
Julian battled cancer right until the end and only spent his last couple of weeks in hospital, even then wanting to know when he was going home…
He had a wonderful 90th birthday a few weeks before.
Julian originally joined Fleet Lions in 1987 before transferring to Alton Lions in 1990. He re-joined Fleet Lions in 1995 until 1996 and then again in 2010 becoming President 2013/14 until he resigned in 2014 to become a full time carer for his wife.
There will be a celebration of life for him on
