Our devoted husband father and grandfather Robert Aston Clegg died recently and unexpectedly. The local community, and further afield, have lost a man that was committed to both the people and the environment around him. As parish council chairman for over 60 years he strived to secure its future.

A keen sportsman in his youth and beyond, my father enjoyed most sports especially hockey cricket and rugby. Captaining England under 16`s in hockey, and chairman and player at Riddlesworth cricket club showed his natural aptitude to sport.

If you wish to make a donation to the `Fabric Fund`, an account that provides funds for the maintenance and repairs to Riddlesworth Church, an area that my father was keen to support, we would be most grateful. Donations can be made online at www.susanwhymark.co.uk.

We thank everyone for their support since his death, he will be greatly missed as the seasons pass.
