The City of Chester Band is sad to announce the death of one of its strongest supporters, David Else. David has been fighting serious illness for some time, but still managed to participate in the recent training band tour. David was the driving force behind the successful lottery bid for funds for new main band instruments, and a long-term supporter of the training band - as both a playing member on trombone and an active supporter; donating the Vice President's Award aimed at encouraging newer band members. As a band Vice President David and his wife Verona were regular visitors to band events and David was often out collecting with both bands, whatever the weather!
Our thoughts are with his wife Verona and family.
The funeral will be held on Tuesday 8th July at 1200h, Blacon crematorium. The band will be playing during the service. Band uniform and band ties please.
Could any players who will be attending please let Ian know you will be there.
The family have asked for donations, not flowers, which will go to 3 charities: The Hospice of the Good Shepherd, Marie Curie, The City of Chester Training band.
