On Tuesday 18 June we learned with great sadness of the repose that morning of another of our oldest parishioners, church builder and long-serving chorister and Parish Council member Vitaly Korotkich (b.1925).  Our parish rector served the funeral in our church on Tuesday 25 June.  Vitaly was afterwards laid to rest at Wallsend Cemetery alongside his beloved wife Lydia (+1996).  Eternal memory!
