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. |
