Lieutenant Piers Calvert 1947 - 2008

With great sadness, I have to anncounce the death of Lieutenant Piers Calvert on 13th July 2008. He was 61. Hewas a gifted man who served both the Church and 1st Market Weighton Boys' Brigade for many years. He used his skills and natural talent to bring many young people to a knowledge of God. He was a musical man and loved to sing and play his guitar whenever the occasion allowed. He fought his battle with cancer bravely and has been an inspiration to many. He will be greatly missed by his wife Madge, his children and grandchildren and all those who were lucky enough to have known him.

Thank You

On behalf of my family, I wish to thank all of those people who have sent messages of sympathy to my family and I. Every one has been read and has meant so much. They have helped us all to get through a very difficult time.

His funeral was simply remarkable and a testament to what a great man he was.

Thank you for all the love and prayers. They have meant the world to us.
