DEATH OF MAJ.GEN. J.C.O.R HOPKINSON.



IT IS MY SAD NEWS TO REPORT THE DEATH YESTERDAY MORNING AT CARDIFF UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL OF MAJ.GEN.J.C.O.R HOPKINSON.
WELL KNOWN TO MOST OLDER ANGLERS ON THE RIVER AND OWNER OF THE BIGSWIER FISHING THE WYE HAS LOST ANOTHER TRUE CHAMPION OF THE RIVER.
A MAN OF UNDISPUTED INTEGRITY WHO FOR MANY YEAR WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE WYE SALMON ANGLERS ASSOCIATION WHICH HE LED WITH HIS FORCEFULL YET KINDLY PERSONALITY.
HE WAS GENEROUS IN HIS SUPPORT FOR THE RIVER AND WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MANY INITIATIVES.
HE WAS A GREAT SUPPORTER OF THE RIVER WYE GILLIES ASSOCIATION AND COULD ALWAYS BE RELIED ON FOR PRACTICAL HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT.

OUR SYMPATHIES GO OUT TO HIS SON CHARLES AND HIS FAMILY AT THIS SAD TIME AND HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED BY ALL WHO KNEW HIM.
