Bill Aston now running in the Stars
It is sad to announce the death of Bill Aston, Halesowen A & CC, who passed peacefully away at home on the 17th August 2012 after a long illness. His wife, Betty and his sons Nick and Dave were at his side.
Bill first joined Midland Veterans AC in 1976 and was member number 120. He latterly served on the committee as the Road and Cross Country Secretary and was a keen supporter of all our events. He was due to become the President in 2010/2011 but had to decline due to his illness but he was awarded the President’s Trophy for services to the Club in 2010 by the outgoing President, Margaret Simpson.
Our sincere condolences go to his wife and all the family.
The funeral will take place at 11.00am on Monday, 3rd September 2012 at:-
Wyre Forest Crematorium, Minster Road, Stourport on Severn DY13 8DE
