Robert Strang-Steel

From http://deesidesquashracquetballclub.blogspot.com/

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of Robert Strang-Steel:

Robert had been in poor health and wheelchair-bound for some time after suffering a severe stroke a few years ago. He was a stalwart of both Banchory Squash Club and ASRC and was the main driver to popularise doubles at BSRC, donating the fine trophy which bears his name, and which has prolonged the squash playing life of many of us who can no longer manage to play singles. He will be sadly missed.

The funeral is next Wednesday (27th) and is a private affair, but there follows a service of thanksgiving at Sluie at 3:30 pm and Rob Sutherland has spoken to Caroline who mentioned to him that it would be nice if some of his old squash buddies could be present. Rob will be there, but, unfortunately, it doesn't look I will be able to make it due to prior commitments, so Rob would appreciate some company if any others were available?
