Captain Gordon Easton

[Jim Blake]

It is with Great Sadness I pass-on the following received the following from his Captain Gordon Easton's wife Margaret:-

"I am writing this mail to inform you of the death of my husband Captain Gordon Easton.
Gordon died peacefully at home on Sunday 30th. May after having treatment for prostate cancer for many years.

He had a long & happy life & in his own words had a "good innings".
He will be sorely missed by myself & our two sons Gordon & Angus & their families.

He was in the Merchant Navy for 39 years & with Blue Star Line for 28 years, joining the company as a second officer
in 1958 & retiring as a master in 1986.
He went to several of the VGSA luncheons over the years & always enjoyed meeting up with old shipmates.

His Funeral service is on Wednesday the 9th of June at Parkgrove Crematorium, Friockheim, Angus at 11.30am.
Should anyone wish further information regarding this our phone number is 01241 853764.
76 Spencer Crescent

With kind regards.
Margaret Easton."

I'm sure many of you "Old Ship Mates" would like to send condolences to Margaret & his family.
