Dear Members

It is with sadness and regret that I advise that Neil passed away yesterday evening.

His Family is with him and details of his memorial service will be sent to you all when they have been made available.

In an earlier exchange, John made this point, in his honour and memory:

“Light a candle for Neil tonight and may his soul rest in Peace in the happy knowledge that he did give a damn, in fact of his best in the service of the Almighty's children - the needy and even the not so needy but who benefitted from the intellectual stimulation and challenge of debate”

Kind regards

Jonathan Yach

It is very sad to lose such a dedicated Rotarian as Neil Sempill. Although he was quite frail he carried on his work for the club. He was a real inspiration and set a very high standard for us to meet. Carl & Tessa Sccheppening
