Minutes Applause - Sgt John Quantick, Weymouth Home

Post by SuperNickyWroe »

Hi all,

I am trying to organise a minute's applause for my Uncle, retired Police Sergeant John Quantick, who sadly passed away last Saturday, aged 89, a few weeks before what would have been his 90th birthday on the 26th April.
He was a Police Officer in Torquay and was a keen Torquay United fan and was also a Goalkeeper in the local leagues.
I'm sure a few would have come across him - one way or another!
So I'm hoping via this forum to organise a minutes applause in the 36th minute (as he was born in 1936) at the Home game v Weymouth on Easter Monday to celebrate his life and work in the Community.
If anyone is on the other TUFC forums, please could you post something on there and I will also be posting on the various FB pages that follow TUFC.
Thanks

I hope this gains some support, Soops, sorry for your loss. Have you emailed the Club, maybe they could put out an announcement?

Thanks very much.xx :clap:
Yes, I have and just received an email back from them.
They have kindly offered to also make an announcement at HT and also put a piece in the programme if we require a Play-Off game as next Mondays programme has already gone to print.

John was a lovely lovely man, He helped my Dad, going well beyond the call of duty. He became a personal friend for the last 52 years. RIP.
