An ex-Cosford 40th entry Boy Entrant died the other day.
Eric May was a giant of a man, with a sense of humour to match. Following surgery on an aneurysm on Nov 4th, he was discharged home on the 12th and seemed to be making a good recovery. Sadly, Nature had not finished, for he complained of not feeling well that evening, was rushed to hospital, but passed away on the journey.

Condolences to Jane and the family.

[Sorry if I have made a mess of this]

No mate, you haven't made a mess of it, you've made it like it should be. Personal and from within.

R.I.P Mr May and condolences to his family.

Eric May, RIP

Eric May, what a larger than life character, the life and soul of our re-unions.
You will always be remembered, especially as the Jankers King.
Rest In Peace my old friend.

I only met him again since Cosford, at the 50th reunion this year, but, as usual, he left an indelible impression! Why do the "charismatic characters" leave us first? Rest in peace, Eric.

Hello everyone. Technically I'm not really supposed to be here, but Eric was my dad and after reading all the lovely things that have been said about him here I wanted to register and thank you all. It's nice to read the memories you have of him. He is dearly missed by us all.

Snowie, me lad, you are more than welcome.
If any one of the 40th can help, let us know and we'll try.

Who could forget Eric's wonderful trick with the beret ? It was typical of him!
