We received the sad news from Peter Chamberlain of the Lourdes Hospitalité that Tony Brook has passed away, surrounded by his wife, Julie, and his family. 

As some of you no doubt know, he had been unwell for some time, increasingly suffering from dementia, and cared for and supported by Julie throughout.

Ed Hills says "Tony made an exceptional contribution to the Wimbledon College Hospitalité over the years. While he was a teacher at the College he recruited many, many sixth formers to come with us, was a regular member of our committee and was also a member of our working party for many years. After he retired his teaching skills were very much appreciated when he volunteered to be a Formateur in Lourdes. Many of you will have many other memories of him.”

Please pray for the repose of his soul and for Julie and the rest of the family.
