Bereavement

I have been asked to let you all know that sadly we have lost another great jazz fan.

John Garrard has lost his fight from his illness this week,  I feel we are all thinking of dear Marian and her family who have helped her husband through this.

John has been such a great fan of the Sole Bay Jazz Band (who send their regards to Marian) for many years, and of course other bands, we will all miss him. 

Always a smile for me and a chat, what a lovely man, rest in peace dear John.

Sadly now we are all getting older this will happen, but seems so close to us, especially after the loss of Keith dear husband of Sheila a few weeks ago. So many of our dear friends have passed and some still ill and unable to come to jazz, but they are always in our thoughts, I am sure you agree.

But I am also sure like all of us who have lost loved ones, Marian will soldier on and hopefully return to jazz as soon as she is able.

No doubt Marian will let me know when the funeral is and we can go and pay our respects to this lovely man.

Thank you for your kind words Beryl. A very sad time indeed & our little group will really miss having John's company, especially on Thursday nights after so many years - he was a very talented & lovely man. I can let you know that the funeral is to be on Monday 23rd Nov at 4pm (Gorleston).
