We were very sad to receive news from Ron Carroll that our friend Alan Warburton had died:
“Some of you may be aware that Alan Warburton (Tenor 2) died on Friday 26th May, 2017. His son Thomas phoned me to tell me that he was found dead in his armchair. In view of the circumstances of the death, the Coroner is involved. Thomas also told me how much his Father enjoyed being in the Choir and he will let me know the details of the Funeral. Thomas said he would talk to the rest of the Family, but he thought they would like Members of the Choir to attend the Funeral.”

And a tribute from John Riddle:
“I was very sorry to hear the news about Alan. I remember him as a quiet friendly polite man but quite a lively character on the dance floor. Rest in peace Alan we will miss you.”
John Riddle, Chairman
UPDATE:
Alan’s funeral will be on Tuesday 20th June at Southend Crematorium. All the details are here.
