Our condolences

It is with great sadness that we are writing to let you know that John Wyatt (OC, 1950) passed away on 2nd January.  John had been ill for some time but passed away peacefully.

John was extremely proud to be an Old Colstonian, having won a full boarding scholarship to attend the school, and then sending his two sons to Colston’s. He was also heavily involved in the OC's Rugby Club where he played before retiring at the age of forty-eight, and where he was also a member of the Committee for many years.

The funeral is being held at Weston Crematorium on 26th January. The link below gives full details of this and John’s family have asked us to let you know that you are very welcome to attend if you wish.

We send our condolences to John’s family.

A full obituary, celebrating John’s life, will appear in the Chronicle in due course.
