Thank you from Simon Sterling's Family

I have been asked by Simon Sterling's family to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the Old Boys who attended Simon's funeral, who made donations to the British heart foundation and who, in their words, "gave him such a fitting send off".

The School Chapel was overflowing, not just with family and Old Boys but with many from other Rugby clubs and the locality and was a tribute to the way that people felt about Skippy.

We have today heard the very sad news of the death of Simon Sterling at home in South Croydon.

Simon was a very popular member of  Purley John Fisher Rugby Club and avid supporter of London Irish. He was very well known to very many Old Boys and will be sadly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Simon's Funeral will be held at 12 noon at The John Fisher Chapel on Tuesday, 30^th October 2007.
Burial at Greenlawn Memorial Park , Chelsham Road , Warlingham, Surrey CR6 9EQ 
and after at Purley John Fisher RFC, Parson's Pightle, Old Coulsdon, Surrey , CR5 1EE  

Simon, "Skippy" to Purley John Fisher and the Local Rugby fraternity, was a regular supporter of London Irish with whom his other nickname was ‘Clonmel’. If you have time to look at the link below you can view their supporter’s website where there are some nice comments and pictures…..  

It is with very great sadness that we have to announce the death of Ray Alston. Ray was an honorary Old Boy who will be fondly remembered by many old boys. He retired to Somerset some years ago to spend more time on the Golf course and it was on the Golf Course that he suffered a heart attack.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Deidre and their family. The Funeral Mass will be at 12.30 pm on Monday 1^st October 2007 at the Sacred Heart, Caterham on the Hill.
