Gordon Blades

Hidden Pages

It is with great sadness that we have to report the sudden and unexpected death of Gordon. On the morning of Monday 18th July 2011 he had been out on a ramble, and after his return home, he had a massive brain haemorrhage. He died in hospital the following day.

Gordon was a very active member of the Society. He represented us on the Great Ellingham Recreational Committee, and was a committee member and a valued member of the astrophotography group. He was about to take over in opening up the observatory on a Tuesday night.

He was a good friend to all of us; his considered approach to problems and his good advice were always welcome.

We will miss his dry sense of humour and his company on a Tuesday night.
