Richard Askew
12:12 - 20/01/2012
Whitwell Brass Band are saddened to learn of the death of Richard Askew following a battle with Cancer. Richard had been the band's Bb Bass player for a number of years having previously played for Shirland and Staveley Works bands.
Richard’s last performance with the band was in November at the Leicestershire Association Contest. Whitwell Brass Band will dedicate their performance in the Fourth Section of the Butlins Mineworkers Championships on Saturday to Richard. His son, Ben will be part of the band on Bb Bass. Richard would have wanted the band to do well at Butlins and to play like we know that we can.
Our thoughts and condolences are with his wife Karen, sons Ben and Will, and daughter Hayley during this sad time. His experience, knowledge and humour will be missed by all in the bandroom.
The funeral service will take place at St Luke's Church, Shireoaks on Wednesday 25th January starting at 1pm.
