22nd September 2017
Laurence Cherry passed away suddenly but peacefully on 22nd September in Eden Valley Hospice. He loved his disabled rambles and was really happy to have been able to join the rambles in Derbyshire earlier on this year. Rosie
Laurence joined the Disabled Rambles in 2011 and took part in most of our northern rambles whenever there was a loan scooter available.
Laurence was perhaps our nearest member, living in Wigton, Cumbria and I regularly used to meet him going in to play bowls at Penrith Leisure Centre in the days when I used the gym. Ron
Bob and I (Val) spent an enjoyable day with Laurence at the DR ramble in the Borders at Bowhill Estate in June, he was with his lady carer and we all enjoyed the views and the day very much. He was obviously a very valiant man but made the best of his problems, we were very sorry to hear the sad news of his passing away. Such a shame. This is a pic of us all having a coffee break that day. Bob & Val
