It is my sad duty to report that David Coe, our immediate past president, has died. I have set out below the obituary issued by Royal Ashdown Forest where he was a member.
OBITUARY
Members will be saddened to learn that David Coe passed away suddenly on Sunday 11th April at the age of 86.
David joined Royal Ashdown in 1986 and was a popular member of the Club. A keen golfer and bridge player, David represented Ashdown at both games.
Mrs Coe was keen to let the members know that David had 40/1 odds on Matsuyami winning the Masters and a decent whisky in hand when he passed away.
Details of a memorial service for David will be circulated to the membership in due course.
