A tribute to
Eric Lloyd McFarlane

10th November
1953 – 13th July 2001
The untimely death of Eric McFarlane was a
great shock. He was known to almost
everybody in the village as a friendly person who always seemed to have a smile
on his face.
He supported Village Community activities, as
well as being a Scoutmaster and active in the Youth Club at Thetford for many
years.
His funeral service was held at Thetford’s
Methodist Church, where his cousin – Mrs. Pansy McFarlane-Edmund read Psalm
23. His son Adrian delivered the eulogy
and, tributes were made by the Scout Leader, the Youth Club Leader and Church
Ministers.
I knew him for over fifteen years, and
admired the way that he conducted his life and brought up his children – Adrian
and Angelina, with the assistance of his wife Winsome. I sometimes held him up as an example to my
own son. Eric was a truly good man.
