OBITUARIES


It is with great sadness that Harrow Cricket Club informs its members of the recent passing of those that have contributed so much to the club.

John Mitchell
John joined HCC in the 1960's and played here until the early 2000's. In addition to playing, he served as a committee member, Captain, Club Secretary, Chairman and President. He played in the 2nd & 3rd XI's, a prominent figure as a batsman, wicketkeeper and slip fielder. During his time as captain he particularly encouraged the younger players to enjoy their cricket. There are many who will remember playing under him with fondness and appreciation. During his time as Chairman and latterly as President there were occasions when he further demonstrated his selflessness by personally helping out the club through difficult financial periods. Throughout his time at HCC, both on and off the field, John Mitchell was a true clubman. He will be missed. He is survived by hiswife Barbara and his two daughters Karen and Kathryn.

Jack Summersell
Jackwas a vice president and served as a cricket umpire for all the teams since the mid 1970's. He is survived by his wife Peggy and son David (who many of you will know from his time as our groundsman).
