ASSOCIATION
UK & IRELAND

It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Terry Sprake on 6 January 2012.


Terry was a founding member of this Association and for many years its first dynamic chairman. Many will remember his ‘esprit' at the annual dinners.


A biography of Terry Sprake was published in the 2003 Yearbook and is reproduced on this site on line.

Dress code

Please don’t feel obliged to wear black. Gents, blazers are fine.


Flowers

Flowers will not be required but any donations to one of Terry’s favourite charities, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution or The Gurkha Welfare Trust would be greatly appreciated. If you are happy to do this, could we please ask you to make cheques payable to one or other of the charities and then send, along with your name and address and whether you are eligible for Gift Aid, to A.G. Stapleford & Sons, FAO the late Terry Sprake, 6 Powerscourt Road, North End, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO2 7JN


We will completely understand if you are unable to attend the funeral. If, instead, you would like to send a few words with your memories of Terry to Tamsin Rush, we will arrange for these to be read out at the service.


We would be very grateful if you could RSVP so that we can get an idea of numbers.


Best wishes,


Tamsin Rush and Stephen Sprake
