Members of the Branch Remember Lost Serving Colleagues and RAFA Branch Members
It is with deepest sorrow that we had to announce the death of Gordon Overton. Gordon was, for many years, our social secretary along with the late Jean Williams. The two would arrange arrange quiz nights, our branch evenings and outings to various places. Coincidently, it was Gordon and Jean who organised the first branch visit to Cosford Military Museum. After standing-down from the committee, Gordon continued to be a regular visitor to branch meetings until ill health took over. He moved into a local care home, were he was visited by members. A regular visitor was our RAFALO, Shaun Griffin, who brought Gordon along to our day out at Shuttleworth. Although wheelchair bound at the time, I know that Gordon enjoyed himself, being with his friends of RAFA again.
