It
is with saddness that I have to report the death - Billy (William) Usher
E
mail from Karen Usher (Billy’s wife) Dated 22 Oct 2010
Bill
Usher passed away on the 6th Sep. 2010 He was in hospital after having a tube
fitted into his stomach for liquid feed but he had left it too late and had got too de-hydrated and mal nourished, so really
never recovered. He wanted it all to come to a finish as once his voice had gone he felt life was finished for him. I wouldn’t
wish him here to suffer but it goes without saying I miss him dreadfully. I can tell you he loved being in touch with the
39ers and really loved the Reunion 2009 at Blackpool last year.
Best
wishes to you all,
Karen

RE: David Howitson
It is with regret that I
must tell you that my father has now passed away.
He had been in Hospital for a while, had a leg amputated 2 months ago, but would not take treatment.
Docs decided 10 days ago that they could do no more and were making arrangements to move him to St.
Michael's in Linlithgow for palliative care. However he caught pneumonia last weekend and died peacefully on Thursday.
Funeral is on Wednesday 12 August 14.30 @ Mortonhall
Crematorium, Howdenhall Road, Edinburgh, EH16 6TX
If any one wishes to send flowers or make a charitable donation, the
family would like donations in his name to be made to "Help for Heroes" fund.
Many thanks
Michael Howitson

David Rowlands
From his sin, David. My father (passed away after a long illness in Nov. 1984) was in the R.A.
from 1950-1972. 10 of these years he spent with 39 in Sennerlager. I believe from 1956- 1966.
His name is also David Rowlands and we use to live in the Luckesastr. He always told me about his good times
in the Geordies Bar.
I was also in the R.A. from 1979-1992. Spending 1 year attachment to 176 Bty as a Sgt.
