We are sad to report another well-known ex-pupil, Michael Lumby, passed away unexpectedly yesterday (16 October).
After leaving school in 1963, he worked for many years at the mushroom farm in Ormskirk. He was a frequent visitor to the school at Christmas and Sports Day. Michael also attended the reunions and often provided a bag of mushrooms as a raffle prize!
Update 23.10.17: Michael’s funeral will take place at 10am on Wednesday 25 October at St Anne’s in Ormskirk followed by family only at the Crematorium. The wake will be at The Hayfield on County Road. It has been requested no flowers please but donations to Southport Centre for the Deaf will be gratefully received.
Update 07.11.17: The Ormskirk Advertiser has published an article about Michael Lumby.
Really sorry to hear the sad loss of Michael better known as a Mushroom man. May he now rest in peace
Paul Harper (1951 to 59)
