Members are much saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Richard Baxter, our 71st President. Richard became suddenly and unexpectedly ill last Friday and died on Sunday 8th March.
During his time in Fort William, Richard served as Parish Minister for Fort William Kilmallie linked with Kilmonivaig, leaving the area to take up a charge in Wellington Church, Glasgow. He served as Club President in 2020-2021 during the pandemic.
Richard was undeterred by Covid and, when asked about plans for the year ahead, Richard said, “Many of our regular activities cannot go ahead during the Covid-19 outbreak, but we are meeting online, and planning a series of events”. With good cheer, he led us through that time.
Our thoughts are with Sheryl and their son, Patrick and daughter, Amy at this very difficult time.
