Guy Elliott MJF
Loddon Valley Lions Club
It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing into higher service of Lion Guy Elliott. Guy died peacefully surrounded by his family on the morning of 28 June 2019.
Lion Guy was a Charter Member of Loddon Valley Lions Club and actively served the local community for over 44 years. He was our Club President in 1987/88.
It was on Guy’s farm where our Country Working Fair ploughing competitions took place and in Guy’s barn that many of the Club’s Social Barn Dances were held. In the earlier days of the Loddon Valley Lions Treacle Fair it would be Guy on his tractor leading the parade through the village to the delight of the residents.
Guy was a very popular member of the club (especially with the ladies). Respected and loved by all, he will be greatly missed for his dry sense of humour, camaraderie and his willingness to help all around.
He was a true Lion to the end.
Guy’s funeral will be held at 3pm on 12th July at Ramsdell Parish Church, Monk Sherborne Road, Ramsdell, Tadley RG26 5RA.

John Cook PDG
Bracknell Forest Lions Club
It is with sadness that 105D Times records the passing to higher service on 11 January of PDG Lion John Cook (DG 105SW 2000/2001).
Lion John was a member of Seaton Lions for many years before transferring with Lion Marcia to Bracknell. With his health declining, eighteen months ago Lion John reluctantly gave up his Lions membership after more than 30 years of distinguished service.

Reg Norton
Crofton Lions Club
I am sad to let you know that I have just found out that Lion Reg Norton, founder of Crofton Lions Club passed away in the early hours of this morning after a long period of illness.
Funeral arrangements, for anyone wanting to pay their respects and remember a truly wonderful gentleman who gave so much:
Thursday 10th January 2019, 3pm at Portchester Crematorium (South Chapel), Upper Cornaway Lane, Portchester, Fareham PO16 8NE
Family flowers only please.
Afterwards at The Crofton Pub, 48 Crofton Lane, Fareham PO14 3QF
Given that for more than 68 years Reg devoted his life to voluntary and charitable work with a wide variety of organisations, it seems only appropriate that, for one final time in his memory, we help contribute to finding a cure for this dreadful disease that Reg fought so stoically and valiantly against for several years.
