Very sad news, condolences to Athol and Joan's family. Thanks for sharing this article, what brilliant supporters of our game.
Very sad to hear this news. R.I.P. to a great couple. Fondest Respects
Very sad news. My parents met Athol and Joan in the mid 1940's when both couples were on their honeymoon. They developed a friendship which lasted many years and Athol is the last to leave us. Rest in peace Uncle Athol.
Two of the most generous folk, just loved being around the greens, Rest In Peace Beautiful people. 🙏🌺🌻
There was due to COVID a small farewell for Athol but there will be a memorial service to be held at a later date once we have more COVID freedom---Athol & Joan over so many years were such great supporters of Bowls at all levels & their contribution in so many ways is a true testament to the fine couple they were---Over the last few months Athol has been very unwell & with the passing of Joan his lifelong partner a few months back life became challenging for Athol, is now at peace & rest with Joan along with his Best Bets & there Honorary Black Jack's status ---RIP To Athol & Joan a couple who were over many years who have done so much for Bowls & their unwavering supporters of Bowls at all levels--I say thanks Athol & Joan on behalf of all bowlers past & present
Great supporters of the Black Jacks RIP
Rest in peace Joan and Athol.
