Jeremy Ricketts contacted us last week with the following message:

My younger brother, David Stanley Ricketts passed away on 26th August, 2023. He was in School House and I think left in 1959 before completing his schooling. He had been ill on and off since early 2021.

It has been long overdue and an obituary will follow in due course.
