Stan Loosley
Stan passed away on Monday 13th April at Pembury Hospital.
Stan was a recent member joining Ashdown Probus Club in 2017, when we moved the monthly lunch to the Crowborough Golf Club.
Stan was taken into Pembury Hospital in very poor condition last Thursday, despite being given oxygen unfortunately he couldn’t be saved and died in hospital. Actual cause of death has, as yet, not been disclosed (he was not tested for Covid-19) but as we all know Stan had been in poor health for some time and the last few months had been very difficult for him.
Easter Greetings
To All Members and Families of Ashdown Probus Club
Wishing you all a Happy Easter.
May you enjoy the sunshine and keep well.
Your Committee,
David Scaife,
President

Marshall was one of the few remaining founder members of Ashdown Probus. He was President in 1994-1995. He and his wife moved to Southampton several years ago to be closer to their family.
