The sad, but not entirely unexpected news of the death of Tom Fish has just started on the grapevine.
Tomorrow would have been his 97th birthday, but over the last few years both his sight and hearing have been failing him, and he has spent the last few months in a care home in Teddington.
Tom was mainly a touring man, but was involved with the Phoenix for many years and set our first Vets Records at 12 hrs in 1960. Tom also set a Vets Record at 10 miles for a 90-year-old a few years ago.
News on the funeral when I hear it.
