Subject: Some sad news
It is with deep sadness that I have to announce the death of Derby North District President Jack Young.
Jack passed away on Friday in Stanley House, with his devoted wife Joan with him.
Jack was an immense presence within Derby North for many years, even when his health began to fail.
Our longest serving District Commissioner, he will be remembered as a true Scout and his legacy will remain.
I carry in my Scouting folder a cutting that Jack gave me many years ago;
For what we are about to do, may the Lord make us truly responsible,
For what we are about the think, may the Lord make us truly wise,
For what we are about to say, May the Lord make us truly sensible,
For what we are trying to achieve, may the Lord accept and bless our efforts.
Wise words and Jack at his best.
I know that you will want to join with me in sending condolences to Joan.
Details of funeral arrangements will be shared in due course.
Thank you.
Stephanie.
