It is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Mr Jean Flamant - SHA Vice President, has passed away (on 08 June 2011).
Jean was current President of the Sussex Hockey Umpires Association and was a former Sussex selector (men's).
I personally will remember Jean as a robust goalkeeper for St Francis HC and later as an umpire with Southern Counties.
He played and umpired the game with a smile and a Gallic shrug of the shoulders which identified his place of birth.
Thoughts at this time are with his family.
A funeral service was held on:
Thursday 16 June 2011 - 12:00 noon
Charitable donations are welcomed if desired to either 'St Peters & St James Hospice' or to the 'Motor Neurone Disease Society' via Brookes Funeral Directors, 35 Wivelsfield Road, Haywards Heath, RH16 4EN. Tel: 01444 454391
JOHN MURPHY
SHA Chairman
