Sorry to report the death of Stan Mathews RIP

I have just had Mick Hennesy come in and he has made some enquiries with Stan’s daughter about Stan!

Sad to say Stan died 3 years ago November from prostrate cancer apparently he knew something was wrong but just left it and when he did eventuallygo to the doctor it was too late and he went dowhill very quickly.

RIP Stan

Regards Pat
