6 September 2007

Peter Clark, our Chairman, died this evening after a long illness - one which all of us, and Peter himself, felt sure he'd eventually beat.

Everyone in the club has reason to be grateful to Peter in some way; for his common sense and long years of hard work, for his patient coaching of generations of new divers, for his quiet generosity of spirit, or simply for his irrepressible and irreverent cheerfulness.  He is irreplaceable, and the sense of loss is overwhelming.
