I
have just had news that A.M.E. HOARE (Known as Tony or Curly) 47B died a
few days ago. I don't know any more details, but will try to find out.
It
must have been sudden as he was booked into the AOB Reunion this coming
weekend.

I
have had some more details on the death of Tony (Curly) HOARE (47B)
On
21st July Tony's ex-wife Joan died in hospital. Their son, Richard went to
tell his father and found him dead at home. They had apparently died within
a few hours of each other.
His
ex-wife had suffered from cancer of the lungs for some time, and her death
was expected. Tony had died of a massive cerebral haemorrhage.
Both
have been cremated today, the 9th of August 2008, after a joint funeral
service, and will be buried at Aldershot
Military Cemetery.

I
am indeed sorry to hear of Tony Hoare’s death as I think I remember him as
he was my intake and I remember him when we were `Jeeps` together. He went
to `A` Coy and I went to `B` Coy and we hardly saw each other after that.
My
deepest condolences are offered to the relatives of Tony who I remember as
a `Very nice chap` and a credit to Arborfield. May he R.I.P.

Maggie
and I extend our deepest sympathies to the Hoare family, because to lose
both parents in such a fashion and so close in time must have been
devastating. God does indeed move in mysterious ways.
Thanks
to Jim Baulf for his posting of the news, so that we can all salute and
acknowledge the passing of another good man and true.

How
devastating for a family to lose both parents so close together, it must
have been very, very traumatic for all, especially poor Tony, going to
inform his father and facing the second passing. Susan {my wife} and I send
our prayers and condolences, and may they Rest In Peace.
John GODDARD (55B)
May
their God take them both into his care and keeping and comfort the members
of their family during these darkest of days for them all.
