Gordon Dodge
« on: April 16, 2007, 05:53:45 PM »

Gordon Dodge, a great supporter of the train services to and through Melksham, and a friend of Melksham Station, passed away at the Royal United Hospital yesterday.  I have no details (at present) of funeral arrangemenst but will post them up here as I hear.

My deepest sympathy goes to his wife Audrey, and to his familiy.

I've written a little further here:

We have lost a great friend and a true gentleman.

I didnt know Gordon all that well , but on the occasions we did meet , I remember him to have been a friendly , easy to get on with person. I am also well aware of the vast amount of good work (much of it unsung) that he did for the Melksham cause.

The rail campaigning world needs more Gordons as much as it needs more Grahams , and he will be sadly missed.

His family have my deepest sympathies.

Gordon's funeral will take place on Tuesday 24th at 1.30pm at West Wilts Crematorium, Semington.  There will be a notice in the Wiltshire Times on Friday, I understand.

I'm sure every one would wishes to attend will be welcome.

I was sorry to hear about Gordon.  Despite the fact that I only met him a few times I always found him very friendly and easy to talk too.  A loss for the campaign.
