It is with deep regret........Sydney Lever

One of the less agreeable parts of running a Blog such as this one is to receive news of the passing of one of the clubs stalwarts. Dear Sydney was a staunch supporter of the club reunion and had served the New Cambridge Club for many years. He will be sadly missed at future re-unions and we take this opportunity of wishing his family a long and healthy life.

I give below an e-mail received today from his son.

Dear Ron

It is with the greatest sadness that I write to advise you of the passing of my father, Sydney Lever, earlier today after a short illness at the age of 85.

As you know he was heavily involved with the club and the reunion dinners. He appears in many of the pictures on your blog.

Funeral is at Bushey on Friday 21 May 2010 at 11.00am and the shiva at 37 West Drive, Harrow Weald, Middlesex HA3 6TX from Sunday until Wednesday night.

Regards

Simon Lever
