John died on Sunday last, having suffered a major heart attack in the previous week.
All at the Club who knew John with have fond memories of his involvement with Ionians RUFC and Hull Ionians RUFC.
John joined Ionians from Marist to bring his son Mark to Junior Rugby and played for the Ramblers team.
John was Mini Junior Chairman in Ionians last season 1988/99 and then for Hull Ionians from 1989 to 1992.
John was Senior Fixture Secretary for Hull Ionians from 1992 to 2016 and one of the 25 members of Hull Ionians RUFC (Holdings) Ltd.
John's fixture secretary duties plus his many years served as a referee and a member of the East Yorkshire & Yorkshire Referee Societies, saw John become well known throughout the rugby circles of Yorkshire.
John was also a very good squash player in the Hull & Yorkshire Leagues.
All at the Club send our thoughts and best wishes to John's family.

John’s funeral will be held next Tuesday morning 9/6/20.
Obviously, due to social distancing, the service will be for family only.
However, for anyone who wishes to pay their respects, it has been agreed to assemble outside John’s house, 56 the Parkway, Willerby, at 10.30am to witness the cortege leaving at 10.45 am.

I have contact details for anyone wishing to send floral tributes.
