Crossed the Bar - Richard Flynn (Errol)

Errol was not a member of the RNCA but I joined up with him in Nov 62 at Ganges and the for a few years on the Scarborough (63/64). Not sure when he left the Pusser but he went back to S Ireland.
Sadly I learned via his daugher Hazel that Errol crossed the bar in June this year from a lung infection. Apparently it was very unexpected.
RIP - Taff Thomas 692
