Dear [[firstname]],
It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Eric Barker, our oldest tennis member who regularly played doubles each week and had the occasional tennis lesson, such was his passion for the sport even at the age of 91.
During the pandemic Eric often sneaked down to court 10 to have a little practice against the hitting wall and his blue rubber bumpered MGB GT was still going strong albeit with a few additional scratches.
Born on 1st April 1930 we were able to celebrate his 90th birthday at the club (Albeit a year late due to the pandemic) and during lockdown he was often visited by members and our caring catering team.
As we play this evening’s Tennis Challenge Cup finals we will be thinking of Eric and the image of him walking around the club in his white shirt, shorts and blue blazer and reminding ourselves of what a true gentleman he was.
Eric is likely to have a private cremation and a memorial service at his favourite church sometime in the near future; we will let you know when the arrangements are confirmed.
Kind regards,
Marc Hughes
Sports Manager
