One of the founder members of The Europa Club, Carl Pattinson, has died very
suddenly
---From a suspect heart attack on Friday 29 August 2014.
Many of the Europa community will have known Carl and his wife Dot who both did
so much to foster the Club and the popularity of the Europa in the early days
of the type. Some of you are aware that Carl & Dot had decided to move north
to Northumberland to be nearer other family members. They had sold their house
in Oxfordshire and were in Newcastle, on the way to the new place, when Carl
suffered what appeared to be severe indigestion and went to see a doctor. He
collapsed
at the surgery and could not be resuscitated.
The post-mortem is being carried out today (Tue 2 Sep) and after the results of
that are known a funeral date can be set. The funeral will be in Newcastle, and
further details will be relayed here when available.
I have spoken to Dot by phone to offer my sympathies and to find out if there is
any help we can offer. She is obviously very busy with all the formalities so
we dont want to bother her too much, but if anyone wishes to contact her direct,
please ask me (or any Europa Club Committee member) for contact details.
Despite the distress, she plans to settle as planned in Northumberland.
in friendship & sadness
