Former shipmates and colleagues will be made most welcome. Refreshments will be available afterwards, details will be on the Order of Service.
Family flowers only by request but donations may be made, if desired, and in Lysle’s name to the RFA Association (HERE for their website) and/or the Great North Air Ambulance (HERE for their website). The funeral directors J. Dickinson (HERE for their website and HEREfor a map) will co-ordinate the collection and equal distribution of any donations appropriately.
On behalf of the RFA Association I offer our sincere condolences to his widow Rosemary and all his family.
