I have just received mail from Phil James advising that his father Geoff James has died at the age of 77 having been diagnosed with cancer of the lung just after Christmas. He died peacefully, with dignity and suffered no pain. His funeral is on Thursday 7th February 15.00 at Saltwell Crematorium in Gateshead.
Geoff was Head Boy at King Edward VI when I started there in the lat 1940's. He was a talented scrum half who gained representative schoolboy honours at Midlands level as well as representing the Old Eds with distinction until he moved away.
