Sad news

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Thu Dec 04, 08 12:33 pm

I've been informed that Sgt John Mcdonald died last night unfortunately
in a vehicle incident on the A14. Most will know John with his `66 Charger.
I'm sure we share in the families sympathy at this time.

I'll be raising a glass in the mess tonight

I don't think I've met John, but my condolences go out to his family and friends.

I knew John quite well. He was married a while back to Catriona and they have a little 'un.

I am so sorry to hear this; maybe the MMA can have a collection or something?

Gutted...........

Sad news indeed, I only met John once a few years ago.

We should do something Pete. I'll post this on the committee section.

Thanks Ivor.

I don't know his address now as he moved to Cambourne out of Army digs.
Maybe Cal has the details, or Matt?

I've already got the wheels turning, I'm sure Matt will have his contact details, it's important as his club that we respond quickly, I think.

Didn't know him myself, but always sad this kind of news.

Hadn't met him, but yes, very sad news indeed. Maybe seeing the Charger would realise me with who he was.

As with everyone, thoughts go to the family.
