Everyone connected with Morecambe Band was greatly saddened by the death recently of Reg Thackrah. Reg had been in intensive care at the Hospital following medical complications and died peacefully on 16th April.
He and Maureen first came into contact with the Band supporting their son Chris when he became a founder member of the Youth band in September 1981. Since that time over 25 years ago both Reg and Maureen have given tirelessly of their time and energy to the band …always present, always willing to help, always cheerful and supportive. Morecambe band would not have been the same without them and we shall all miss Reg very much.
It was fitting that as the band played, a large number of past and present friends gathered together at The Crematorium to say farewell to Reg followed by a buffet at The Elms at which many happy memories were re-visited.
